Bereavement Garden

The Garden

The Bereavement Garden is a new addition for the Luton & Dunstable Hospital. Bedford Hospital already have a garden in place which provides a peaceful serene place to go. The team at Luton & Dunstable want the same for their families. The garden will offer a place of quiet contemplation, peaceful reflection and privacy, helping to support the emotional needs of our patients.

Within this garden, 150 bespoke glass butterflies will be carefully placed. They will reflect the sunlight as it comes up, and will appear as if they are in motion. The designer Tim McFadden, has handmade each and every one to ensure they are all unique.

Some butterflies have been sponsored as a lasting memory of a baby or a loved one gone too soon. They will be remembered by the Charity. Some have given words for others to read which will remain on our website after the appeal.

If you would like to sponsor a butterfly please get in touch with the team fundraising@bedsft.nhs.uk
