Karin Grech Garden, Memorial garden in San Ġwann, Malta
Karin Grech Garden is a memorial park in San Ġwann with planted areas, walking paths, and seating zones throughout its landscaped grounds. The space includes diverse plant species and open areas designed for quiet reflection and community use.
The garden was established in 1981 to honor Karin Grech, who died in 1977 when a letter bomb intended for her father killed her. This memorial space was created to preserve her memory and reflect on the events of that period.
The garden serves as a location for annual memorial services where residents gather to honor Karin Grech through readings, prayers, and flower-laying ceremonies.
The garden sits on Vjal Ir-Rihan next to San Ġwann Parish Church and is easy to reach on foot. The space with benches and open areas works well for a walk and a peaceful visit.
A monument in the garden bears inscriptions honoring both Karin Grech and Freedom Day of 1979. This connection links a personal tragedy with an important moment in the nation's history.
