We are fundraising to create a garden around the treatment and chemotherapy suite at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, a leading specialist cancer centre in Northwood.
This special project is lead and inspired by the amazing garden writer and broadcaster Matthew Biggs. Matt wants to give the gardens a much-needed makeover when looking out of the window during his own ongoing chemotherapy treatment. He has made it his mission to turn the outdoor space into a healing garden which will bring patients, staff, volunteers and members of the local community together.
We are delighted that the following garden experts will be involved:
Interlock Surveys, under George Davenport MRICS, have already undertaken a detailed drone survey of the site.
Millie Souter from Tom Stuart-Smith Studio and Head Gardener at The Serge Hill Project (Tom Stuart Smith is an internationally renowned Garden designer; his wife Sue, a highly respected psychologist and author of the best-selling book ‘The Well Gardened Mind’, linking gardens to health and wellbeing.
The Garden will be constructed by Landform Consultants, led by CEO Mark Gregory. Landform are multiple-gold medal and ‘Best in Show’ winners at Chelsea Flower Show.
Plants will be grown, planted and maintained by the Sunnyside Rural Trust, a local charity and social enterprise working with young people and adults with learning disabilities. They show case what people can do with opportunity.
Donations have helped part of the garden that supports local cancer treatment patients, staff, and visiting families by providing tranquil spaces. We have managed to redesign, landscape and plant up the South garden but the entrance is in dire need of work. Please donate to help us reach our fundraising goal for this beautiful space. Thank you!
Any extra funds donated will be used for future upkeep of the garden.
