The trees in this grove were planted as a living tribute to nine nurses who died during the First World War or shortly after, whose deaths were war-service related. These women served as nurses in the Australian Army Nursing Service (AANS), the Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Service (QAIMNS) and the Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD).
The Lemon-scented Myrtle trees (Backhousia citriodora) have creamy white flowers to symbolise the white pinafore aprons worn by the nurses at home and overseas.
Lemon-scented Mrytle is also considered a healing plant.
This grove was established to honour their dedication, sacrifice and personal connection to Brisbane.
Those commemorated are:
| Ettie Barnett | Pearl Stella Goodman | Norma Violet Mowbray |
| Lily Nugent | Rosa O`Kane (AANS) | Charlotte Berrie |
| Agnes Beryl Corfield | Myrtle Elizabeth Wilson (QAIMNS) | Lydia W. F. Grant (VAD) |
