A new wildflower garden is being established at Cardiff's Northern Cemetery to provide a tranquil place to remember, reflect and help people through the grieving process.
Northern Cemetery is Cardiff’s most recent cemetery which opened in 2021.
The first seeds in the ‘Forget-You-Not' garden will be planted following two special Covid-memorial services, one was held on Wednesday, September 21 and the other will be on Wednesday, October 26 in the Wennalt Chapel at Thornhill Cemetery.
The ‘Forget-You-Not' garden will develop over time as friends and family collect specially designed envelopes containing wildflower seeds from the Bereavement Services team. People can then write their thoughts, or a message to their loved one, on the envelope.
