EAST KENT BABY MEMORIAL GARDENS |
The Ashford Baby Memorial Garden was created in 2013 after local volunteers raised £30,000. There are various baby gardens within many crematoria but the Ashford Garden is unique in being quite separate and right in the town centre, fully accessible and open all day, every day. It is a vibrant area designed for anyone to visit, with lovely bright plants, specially hand carved benches, and a beautiful ‘teardrop’ mosaic. The Garden is managed by our volunteers (we have no staff) who regularly visit to check on litter and weeds etc, while the main maintenance and replanting itself is done by Ashford Council’s Aspire team on a repayment basis. Within the Garden we have boards with tiles remembering 300 of our special babies, with their name and a significant date. These tiles are available for a one-off cost of £40 although we can waive the cost, or take instalments if that would help. Please click here for further details. |
