Join us for a special evening at Kings Chapel, Amersham, with award winning garden designers Catherine Gibbon and Jen Donnelly who won Gold at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show earlier this year with their ‘Room to Breathe’ hospital garden.
Catherine and Jen will share the story behind the award-winning design, showcase images from the show, and explain how they incorporated the healing power of nature into the garden concept, bringing it to life with the right selection of materials and plants.
“We designed this garden to show how thoughtful planting and design can create spaces that calm the mind, lift the spirit, and support wellbeing — even in the most clinical of settings.” Jen Donnelly
Get inspired by their stories and learn tips and ideas you can take away to create your own garden sanctuary.
You’ll hear about how this garden was created as a haven for patients and their families navigating hospital treatments, the importance of healing spaces in healthcare, and the story behind the garden coming to Amersham Hospital for our local community to enjoy.
“This garden is a testament to the healing power of nature, offering hope and comfort to families.” Catherine Gibbon
Your ticket includes a welcome drink on arrival, a meet and greet with the Chelsea Flower Show Gold winners and an inspiring talk followed by a Q&A session. There will also be a charity raffle held on the night.
The ‘Room to Breathe’ garden has been donated to Amersham Hospital with the support of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Charitable Fund. All proceeds from this event, including raffle and donations on the night, will go towards supporting the Amersham Hospital gardens project. This includes projects such as bringing the ‘Room to Breathe’ garden to Amersham Hospital, where it can have a lasting legacy by offering a calm and peaceful space for local community, patients, families and colleagues to all enjoy.
We look forward to seeing you there!
