Located at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, the Remembrance Glade has been designed to offer a tranquil space for families, individuals, schools, community groups and others to contemplate what Remembrance means to them and to remember those who have served and sacrificed.
The Glade has been created to encourage reflection and contemplation through symbolic forms, features and plants. Download the Remembrance Glade factsheet to find out more about the trees, shrubs and flowers that make up the Remembrance Glade, and the symbolism behind them.
Our aim is to empower people to find new ways to remember those who have served.
All communities have the freedom to develop their own forms of Remembrance which reflect their own histories and cultures.
We wish to inspire the practice of Remembrance, not just on 11 November, but as a year-round activity – and one that is adaptable to the individual’s and the community’s needs.
