The Ivy Trust is working with The National Trust of Guernsey to create natural places of remembrance, honouring babies and pregnancies gone too soon.
The memorial planting projects can be used by all families and parents to remember and build hope for the future.
The first project will get underway at Les Caches Farm - set close to the cliff path and National Trust land areas at Le Bigard and Le Gouffre.
"We are delighted to have found a unique area for our first memorial planting," said Trustee of the Ivy Trust, Jayne White. "Les Caches Farm has a wonderful feeling of peace in a beautiful surrounding and one that families can enjoy and easily access."

A combination of native trees and shrubs will be planted in the area and, thanks to a donation from Skipton International, the trust can gift one planting to any family that would like to remember a baby.
Families can plant as many trees and shrubs as they would like though, at a cost of £25 per extra plant.
Everyone is invited to see and enjoy the area on Sunday 15 September between 11:30 and 13:30. Families can register for a tree at that time and are welcome to bring a picnic.
Those interested in going can let the Ivy Trust know via its Facebook page or by emailing chloe@theivytrust.org.
