This comes alongside the launch of a public crowdfunder after it was approved earlier this year.
The permanent green space planned for Caird Avenue next to Moncur Crescent Playpark was officially approved earlier this year.
The crowdfunder is open until Friday, January 30, offering residents the opportunity to help shape the final memorial.
The memorial was developed through Dundee's participation in Remembering Together, a national initiative encouraging communities across Scotland to reflect on their experiences of the Covid pandemic.
In Dundee, people from across the city took part in months of conversations and creative workshops led by design studio Around Zero.
These sessions explored how the city should remember its loved ones, acknowledge the challenges and celebrate the ways communities supported one another. Their ideas formed the basis for the final design of Old School Fabrications.
Scheduled to be constructed by fall 2026, the memorial garden will center around a gentle labyrinth path surrounded by perennial plants that provide year-round color.
The focus is a sculptural depiction of flying birds, chosen by community participants as a symbol of hope, renewal and the changing of the seasons.
The use of wood, Corten steel and sustainable planting ensures the space is durable, inviting and easy to maintain.
The crowdfunder offers the public the opportunity to support the creation of the garden, with optional thank you gifts for those who choose to do so.
These include wildflower seeds inspired by the memorial's planting, a handcrafted Corten steel bird decoration and the opportunity for supporters to have a bird featured in the central artwork.
The gestures are simply a way to recognize people who want to contribute to the completion of the project.
The location of the garden, next to Moncur Crescent Playpark, was chosen based on feedback from young people and families involved in the workshops.
Many emphasized the importance of recognizing how the pandemic has affected children and creating a space that feels connected to everyday community life.
UNESCO City of Design Dundee hopes this next step will enable residents to support the community’s vision in making it a reality.
