The Memorial Garden at Haslar is a walled 3-acre hidden gem where healing continues to take place, long after the closure of the hospital. Using horticulture as therapy, the garden is an ideal space for a wide variety of gardening and related activities The garden has developed and matured over the years from the care and attention taken by all who volunteer and benefit from the space.
