Coffs Harbour Garden of Remembrance

The Coffs Harbour Council has joined together with the Men’s Shed and Botanic Garden to create a yellow flowering garden for the week as a space where people can reflect on lives changed or lost on our roads.

The community is invited to visit the gardens all week from 16 - 23 May and reflect upon loved ones. Whilst there write the name of someone special on a ribbon or sunflower and plant it in amongst the swathe of yellow flowers. Free yellow lapel ribbons are available to all.
