Calvary Riverina Hospital revealed the Yilawura garden near the main entrance, and the name means "a pleasant place to camp".

Wiradjuri elder Aunty Isabel Reid said she was overwhelmed by the finished project.

"It's so beautiful," she said.

"When people come here with their families, they come with a lot of people, and it is lovely to think they have a space to sit in and be comfortable.

"I am delighted with the whole thing."

Dick Green, a community member, collaborated on the project, ensuring the garden paid homage to Wiradjuri culture and history.

"We have lots of native Wiradjuri plants here," he explained.

"We have the chocolate lily. It does not grow chocolate, but it grows bulbs which can be eaten and are also medicinal.

"There are lots of natural grasses such as kangaroo, wattle trees ... and we have also got plants that were already here like this magnificent Californian redwood."

Robin Haberecht, general manager at Calvary Riverina Hospital, said it was great to see the project be celebrated after months of work.
