About this garden

The story

The Sue Ryder Grief Kind Garden is a safe and peaceful sanctuary to sit within the beauty of nature, whilst sharing experiences of grief, or having a moment of quiet reflection. Plants, carefully chosen for their sensory properties, are layered throughout the garden to connect people with the space. As the garden will be relocated in Bedford, the design has taken inspiration from the area’s history in lace production, using some of the organic shapes from the famous Midlands ‘Bud’ lace, to create the designs for the planting borders and the York stone paving in the garden.
