Professional garden designers gave a makeover to a rundown hospital garden in Buckinghamshire.

Amersham Hospital gardens was revamped into an oasis by a Chiltern- based garden designed trio.

Each designer renovated a different area within the hospital as a way to give back to the NHS and the hospital, where their own family members have been supported.  

Hospital staff commented the makeover: “It brings us happiness, we just open the door and look at the garden and we are so happy.”

Jen Donnelly’s creation at Chartridge Ward – planting with colour and texture and a fun game - can be used by both staff and patients, while Catherine Gibbon introduced a refreshed planting scheme to the Ophthalmology Secret Garden with focus on colour, resilience and evergreens for year-round structure.
