The Jubilee Garden will also include metal planters which will contain two Queen Elizabeth rose trees to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Sensory plants and a lavender hedge are also being installed.
Angela Sugden, secretary of the Cleckheaton in Bloom group, said: “We wanted to create a tranquil, sensory and accessible space that people can enjoy.
