The colourful roses, handmade from recycled aluminium cans, are a 'stunning and poignant' display.
A sea of brightly-coloured roses made using recycled aluminium cans is now blanketing a hospice garden.
Every rose was handmade at a workshop in Cornwall and sponsored by the loved ones of past residents at the hospice.Director of patient services Carolyn Bell said: "The installation is a special way for the community to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us"."The display will be stunning and incredibly poignant - it's moving to think each one has been dedicated in memory of someone across Swindon and north east Wiltshire.
Chris Beardsmore is the owner & creator of Forever Blooms Metal Petals, the Cornwall-based workshop which used the recycled aluminium to create the ornamental roses."It was very fulfilling, because every single rose represents a person and every single rose has a small name plaque. For us it was a really moving experience, we never really expected that.
"I feel very privileged to have helped put something together that represents Prospect House and the work that they do, but it represents those people as well."Forever Blooms Metal Petals creates roses for various charities, including Hounds For Heroes and South Western Ambulance Service Trust, which are then sold on to raise funds.
