Garden and Grounds

This wonderful facility is here for the enjoyment of all who come to the Hospice, be they patients, carers, visitors, staff, volunteers or friends.

The garden covers an area of about 5 acres and the surrounding grounds run to about 30 acres, so you can appreciate the scale of the task in hand.

The pictures below will give you some idea of potential there is to develop the whole area, in a sympathetic way, including the provision of more paths and walkways for wheelchair access. 

There is also the possibility of creating a nature trail, within the grounds, which would be of enormous benefit not only to the Hospice but to the community at large, especially the local schools.

If you perhaps have a window box for a garden or more likely simply pursuing your hobby, then helping the community can be very rewarding in its own right.

Garden Update

Over the past year there has been a good response to appeals for volunteer gardeners and the pictures below  show the result of all the hard work they are putting in to the project.
