The War Widows' Rose Garden is dedicated to the great ladies who have endured much hardship with the loss of their husbands in war.
Planting in this garden reflects the stages of grief beginning with red for anger, purple for despair, pastels for acceptance and yellow for memories. A fountain is in the centre of the four sections making up this beautiful area.
A memorial plaque shows a map of the world showing the war graves throughout with the inscription:
'Dedicated to the courage of all War Widows.'
