A new community garden at Aldershot Military Museum has been officially opened by the commander of Aldershot Garrison, Lt Col Nick Burley.

The Resilience Garden is the result of a project led by the Hampshire Cultural Trust to involve local people from the armed forces and civilian communities who are recovering from mental health illnesses to design and create a community garden.

Participants worked with a garden designer, a mosaic artist and a willow weaver to plan and build a space for reflection, for wildlife and for the senses. A series of creative sessions was held in which those taking part created mosaics which now feature in the garden.

The bold mosaics and willow features offer year-round interest and the various seating points encourage visitors to pause and enjoy the space.
