Chestnut Tree

The new Greenfingers Charity Kitchen Garden at Chestnut Tree House Hospice in Arundel was officially opened on the 24th September 2025.

Designed by award-winning garden designers Fisher, Tomlin & Bowyer and built by Baylis Landscapes, the new space brings together ornamental planting, growing beds, and pollinator-friendly features to create a haven for children, families, and staff.

The Kitchen Garden has been designed to encourage hands-on engagement with nature, supporting sustainability, exploration, education and wellbeing. Children will have the opportunity to learn more about the journey from ‘Garden to Plate’, with produce grown being used in the hospice kitchen - while the ‘Dads Club’ will be encouraged to get actively involved in tending the garden.

Greenfingers Charity is hugely grateful to Honorary Member, Roger Head, whose incredible generosity made the garden possible, and to all those who kindly gave funds or gifts in kind to help create The Kitchen Garden at Chestnut Tree House. Special thanks go to The Chapman Trust, The Hedley Foundation, Alexander Rose, Arbour Land Solutions, Greenwood Plants, Rolawn, Veg Trug and others whose support has helped to bring this very special space to life.
