D-Day Revisited has become one of the latest organisations to receive funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Local Grants Programme, using their funding to create a national tribute and legacy to the veterans of Normandy and the D-Day landings…
The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust has awarded a grant of £20,000 to support this extraordinarily poignant garden – and its move to Normandy.
The D-Day 75 Garden is a national tribute and lasting legacy to our Normandy veterans on the 75th anniversary of the D-Day Landings. Introduced at the 2019 RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the Garden will then be gifted by the veterans to a community in Normandy on 6 June 2019.
This stunning, visual project celebrates the lives of Normandy veterans and the garden itself has been designed by multi RHS gold medal award-winning designer John Everiss.
The D-Day 75 garden has brought together veterans and their families, serving members of the Armed Forces and civilians to help raise awareness of the D-Day story and encourage both community and inter-generational integration.
