Hospice Isle of Man is inviting the community to remember their loved ones by dedicating a metal Forget-Me-Not flower as part of the inaugural Memory Meadow event. The metal Forget-Me-Not flowers, symbolizing devotion, love, and respect, will serve as a heartfelt tribute to those we hold dear, providing a lasting memory and an opportunity to reflect.
The Memory Meadow, set within the peaceful surroundings of the Hospice Isle of Man gardens, will be on display from Thursday 26th until Saturday 28th June 2025. The Forget-Me-Not flower is not only a symbol of love but also represents a promise to never forget someone, and the tribute provides a moment to reflect, remember, and celebrate life.
“We chose the Forget-Me-Not flower because of its deep meaning—devotion, love, and remembrance. It’s a perfect symbol to honour our loved ones, whether or not, they were cared for by Hospice Isle of Man,” said Vanessa Smith, Head of Income Generation at Hospice Isle of Man. “Our Memory Meadow will be a beautiful space showcasing all the beautiful, dedicated flowers while celebrating loved ones, honouring memories and making a meaningful impact on the lives of those who need Hospice Support. We really can’t wait to see them all come together in June.”
Each flower can be dedicated if you wish, and all the flowers will be displayed as part of the Memory Meadow within the Hospice gardens. After the event, you will have the opportunity to take your flower home to display in a space that holds special meaning for you. In addition to the flower, each dedication will include a Forget-Me-Not pin badge, which can be worn as a personal tribute wherever you go.
The Memory Meadow will be open for viewing and flower collections on the following dates:
During these times, visitors are welcome to explore the beautiful Hospice gardens, enjoy light refreshments, and take their flower and pin badge home as a cherished keepsake. If you are unable to collect your flower during the specified dates, you can opt to have your flower and pin badge posted to you for a small additional charge.
All money raised through the Memory Meadow will go towards supporting the work of everyone at Hospice, supporting patients and their loved ones when they need it most. For more information on dedicating a flower and to order your Forget-Me-Not tribute, please visit our Memory Meadow web page.
