A MEMORIAL garden designed by the schoolfriends of a little girl who died after falling from a window while playing hide-and-seek is being opened today.
Four-year-old Jackie-Danielle Velvick died in December 2003 after plunging 20ft from a first-floor window at her home in Longfield Road, Trowbridge.
Pupils at Longmeadow Primary School came up with ideas and drawings which were then incorporated into the memorial garden by gardener Sally Hearn.
The garden, created in a quiet area of the school grounds and to be used as a place of quiet reflection, has earned a Wessex Watermark Award of £200 and Alan Morgan of Wessex Water was due to visit pupils at the official opening today.
Residents on the Longfield estate donated funds and equipment for the garden.
Work started on the project in July last year and Jackie-Danielle's brothers Jordan and Brandon and mother Cher were there to help turn the first sods of earth.
