The outdoor illuminated installation, named "Garden of
Light," was designed by artist Andrew Shoben and his public art
collective Greyworld to mark the launch of the Great Daffodil
Appeal by the Marie Curie charitable organization, which
provides care and support for people with terminal illnesses and
their families.
Each illuminated daffodil represents one of the Marie Curie
nurses working across the United Kingdom.
"Most of our nurses work at night, so they go into people's
homes and provide care for the person who's dying and support
for the family," said Marie Curie Chief Executive Dr Jane
Collins.
The installation features winding pathways along which people
can walk while listening to recordings of voices reading letters
of thanks sent to nurses from families of patients they have
helped.
The installation will be open for free to the public to enjoy
until March 12.
