Dedicate a Sunflower to a loved one in aid of Heart of Kent Hospice
Heart of Kent Hospice launches its 2024 Sunflower Appeal with three remembrance events to bring the Maidstone community together to remember and celebrate loved ones.
Our Sunflower Appeal remembrance events will take place between 9 and 12 June in Magnolia Place and the adjoining hospice garden to give everyone the choice of sitting indoors or outdoors.
A printed remembrance card with poems and words of comfort will be available for everyone to take home.
Sunflowers with their bright yellow petals and tall green stems are a favourite in summer and anyone wishing to dedicate a wooden sunflower in memory of their loved one can write their name in the centre of the flower and either plant at home or in the hospice garden. During the events refreshments will be served and a plant stall will be selling a selection of plants for your own garden.
The event is free, but you can choose to make a donation, knowing your kindness will be felt by others who are losing a person they love.
Funds raised will assist the Hospice in continuing to provide care through its drop-in services together with inpatient and home support including to families in the weeks and years following the loss of a loved one.
At Heart of Kent Hospice we are deeply aware of the power of memories. We know that nothing is ever really lost to us as long as we are able to remember it. When we tell our stories about people we love, or of events that happened in our lives, we can revisit time and place, and we bring to life again those people we can no longer see or touch. The past does not die, but lives in our hearts and our minds, in the way we live our lives and in the stories we tell.
This year we will once again have wooden sunflower memory markers, each one can be used to name a loved one as part of our remembrance event, and they can be displayed in the beautiful hospice garden or taken home for your own use.
