Following the Friends of Hillfield Gardens securing £50,000 of Community Spaces lottery funding in 2012, the group has been working with the City Council to help create a new sensory and woodland garden to replace the derelict rose garden.
The newest editions are two new sculptures, designed by students at the High School for Girls in Denmark Road.
The year nine art students were tasked with designing a large sculpture to feature in the sensory garden.
Wood carver Andy O'Neill has translated the students' designs into the works of art which will be installed in the gardens on Friday May 17th.
Councillor Kathy Williams, Cabinet Member for the Environment said: "These two new additions will really compliment the work which has been done to transform these gardens into a place everyone can enjoy.
"The new sensory garden really is fantastic and is further enhanced by the adjacent woodland garden.
"The large sculptures, made by the same wood carver who produced the wood sculptures at Robinswood Hill, are something people can touch and enjoy rather than just something to look at."
Julia Hurrell, Chair of the Friends of Hillfield Gardens said, "The standard of design was so high that a second sculpture has been made for the woodland area.
"The support from the local community has been wonderful.
"We are looking forward to having the new areas completed so everyone can come and see the sculptures and what has been done to transform this part of the Gardens."
Hillfield Gardens were once the private garden of Hillfield House. They are now a public park and house several historic monuments and listed buildings, which are currently being renovated by the City Council using funding from local housing development.
Following consultation with local residents and other groups in the area, including care providers for the elderly and Star College, the new scheme, designed by landscape architect Peter Quinn, includes raised planters, bespoke oak seating, new footpaths and sensory planting.
