Inscription on the plaque:

This garden commemorates the previous use of
this site as a convalescent hospital for veterans
returning from the Great War (1914-1918).

The hospital was named the Rena McLean
Memorial Hospital in memory of a young Island
nurse who served as a member of the Canadian
Nursing sisters. Rena McLean was the only Prince
Edward Island nurse to lose her life during the
Great War when the hospital ship Llandovery
Castle was sunk in 1918.

The garden provides a quiet and scenic place to
remember those who have given, and those who
offer, their lives in the service of their country.
