Meath Memorial Garden

In 2007 as part of the Hospital’s “Patient First Project” the windows opposite The Meath Memorial Garden were partially covered with images selected from the Meath Archives to help the public finding their way in the Hospital. New chairs and tables were installed in this area to allow people to stop and rest and this area was named “Meath Court”.

To further enhance this area the Board of Directors agreed a plan to improve the Memorial Garden. ‘Thirtythreetrees’, a firm of Architectural Horticulturists, were retained to produce a design for the Garden which included planting to give patients in the rooms surrounding the Garden privacy without obstructing light, the installation of the two marble plaques

from the children’s ward in the Meath Hospital entitled “Morning” and “Night”, a natural water feature, lighting and seasonal planting to bring colour into the garden. Following the development and tender stage of the project ILS Group were appointed and commenced working in the garden on 12th May 2008.

The work on the garden is now complete and as you can see from the pictures the transformation enhances this area greatly.

The work on replacing the history panels in the Meath Court has also been completed. ‘Sign Right were retained and have installed raised engraved panels that will not fade.

Please visit the Meath Court and see for yourselves the great work that has been done to enhance this area. It is clearly identified with The Meath Foundation. At a later date it is intended to install sealed boxes to display some smaller pieces of memorabilia from The Meath Hospital archives and to install a notice board.
