A new memorial and reflection garden at Queen Elizabeth’s School in Wimborne, funded by the school’s trustees, has been blessed and dedicated by the Bishop of Salisbury.
The Rt Rev Stephen Lake blessed the facility, which includes a circular, central garden with seating and a lavender-lined path.
Guests were also entertained with musical and dance performances by pupils.
The Bishop said: “This is a garden of peace and beauty representing the whole of creation. It reminds us of our responsibility to look after it and is also a place for relationships to develop.”
Headteacher Katie Boyes said: “Our school trust has funded not only the garden but the groundworks required.
“We are extremely lucky to have the trust. We are also incredibly grateful to the bishop and Rev Canon Andrew Rowland of Wimborne Minster for coming.
“The garden is a wonderful addition to the school and as it matures it will blossom into something really superb.”
