The scheme has progressed through spring and early summer, with a metal arch now installed at the Sopers Lane entrance and a timber wildlife sculpture also placed in the Christchurch green space.
A timber seat facing in two directions has been put in the centre of the gardens, next to the sensory area planted by the Friends of Druitt Gardens, as part of work focused on access.
The project is aimed at improving access to urban green spaces for older people, chronically ill residents and carers, and is linked in the release to supporting "health and wellbeing" locally.
Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council and Christchurch Town Council are working together on the project, using Community Infrastructure Levy funding from the former Christchurch Borough Council that was retained by BCP Council for use in Christchurch.
The work is also described as supporting BCP Council's focus on people, place and environment through improvements to local green space in Christchurch, with the recent additions now in place.
