Just watched on Birmingham central local news, it was interview by The Mayor, the idea is flowers will be stored, then composted down and it used for planting around Ozzys garden and his resting place. Talks are ongoing with Acorns Childrens Hospice ( who Ozzy raised money for) for them to sell the objects left and money to go for their charity and lastly the messages, cards etc will all go to the family 🖤❤️🖤 They also mentioned all the books of Condolences have been closed and are in process of being sent to the family too.

lanting Around Ozzy’s Garden and Resting Place

In the days following the passing of Ozzy, the outpouring of love and remembrance has been both powerful and deeply moving. As friends, fans, and loved ones gathered to reflect on the incredible impact he had on so many lives, the garden surrounding his resting place has become a focal point of tribute, growth, and peace. In keeping with Ozzy’s spirit, there are now thoughtful plans underway to enhance the area with meaningful planting—turning it into a lasting space of beauty, reflection, and memory.

The idea of planting around Ozzy’s garden and resting place was born out of a desire to honour not only his memory but also his enduring connection to nature, family, and community. The space will be treated with care and respect, featuring a blend of native and symbolic plants—flowers that bloom throughout the seasons, trees that will grow tall and strong, and quiet corners that invite peaceful reflection. Every choice will be made with Ozzy in mind, reflecting the warmth, strength, and kindness that defined him.

This living tribute will provide a space not just for mourning but for healing, where family, friends, and visitors can come and feel close to him. The garden is envisioned as a place that offers comfort, beauty, and the ongoing sense that Ozzy’s presence is still felt in the rustle of the leaves, the colours of the blooms, and the quiet of the surroundings.

In another meaningful gesture, conversations are ongoing with Acorns Children’s Hospice—a charity that was close to Ozzy’s heart, and one for which he had previously raised money. Discussions involve the possibility of the many heartfelt objects left by visitors—teddy bears, artwork, handmade tributes—being collected and respectfully offered for sale by the hospice. All funds raised would go directly to Acorns, continuing Ozzy’s legacy of kindness and community spirit. It is a beautiful way to transform grief into generosity, and to channel the love so many have shown into something that can help others.

As for the messages, cards, and written tributes left by countless mourners, each one has been carefully preserved. These expressions of love, gratitude, and remembrance will all be passed on to Ozzy’s family, a powerful reminder of how deeply he was loved by those who knew him and even by those who never met him. They speak to the impact one life can have when lived with heart and purpose.

Additionally, all official Books of Condolence have now been closed and are in the process of being sent directly to Ozzy’s family. These books, filled with thousands of messages, represent a collective voice of sorrow, admiration, and support. They are now part of the family’s private keepsakes—something to return to in the days ahead for comfort and strength.

Together, the planting, the tributes, and the charitable efforts reflect not just a farewell, but a continuation of everything Ozzy stood for—love, compassion, and community.
