"We would love for people to come up and see the beautiful garden," said Sam. The garden is being officially reopened on Saturday, June 24 from 10am - 4pm. Sam added: "We would like to continue the Wave of Light for Baby Loss Awareness Week and on our Facebook page we will put up dates when we are having a garden maintenance day for people to come up and join us to maintain the garden." We will be adding some picnic benches so families can have a picnic and remember their little ones too. The support from Plymouth Hospitals Charity, our volunteers and family has been amazing. "All this has been done by The Phoebe Hoskin Trust and its amazing volunteers. We have added some colour by painting some light posts and the balcony at the top of the garden. This has some lovely flowers inside and gives a nice welcome to the entrance of the garden. We were donated a steel planter from Sarah Munn, which was made by Halo Steel in Cornwall. We have also planted some new shrubs, plants and a tree, trying to keep a woodland and natural look to the garden. "We have reduced the size of the pond in the garden and given the garden fresh wood chip which was donated by a local tree surgeon C & H Tree Surgery. We have also made a memory wall, so if any families would like a name on the wall they can contact us via Facebook or our website. "We have kept Memory Lane, which was there when we took over the garden as families have pebbles engraved with their little ones' names on. The Forever and Always Garden is open to all who have lost a child we want people to have a safe space where they can be at one with their little love and remember them. Sam said: "We took the garden over because we wanted the area to continue being used by families who have lost a child so they still have a tranquil space to remember their little loved ones.

But since Phoebe's tragic death, her parents are doing everything they can to help others - including creating memory boxes for other parents during the most difficult of times.
