Hope House
The Gathering Heart Garden at Hope House Children’s Hospice in Oswestry was officially opened Tuesday 30th September 2025.
Created by the talented teams at CW Studio and Landstruction, the garden has been thoughtfully designed as a place of movement, interaction, and sensory engagement. With inclusive play equipment, shaded seating areas, and quiet spaces for reflection, the Gathering Heart Garden provides life-enhancing moments for children, families, and staff, evolving beautifully with the seasons.
Boyd Douglas Davies, Chairman of Greenfingers Charity, said:
“We are thrilled to see the Gathering Heart Garden at Hope House come to life. It is a truly magical space that will provide precious moments of joy, connection, and comfort for children, siblings, parents, and carers for many years to come. We are immensely grateful to everyone whose generosity and hard work has made this possible.”
Andy Goldsmith, CEO of Hope House Children’s Hospice, added:
“Every day we see the difference that outdoor space makes to the children and families who come to Hope House. The Gathering Heart Garden is far more than a garden – it is a sanctuary of play, laughter, and peace where families can create lasting memories together, even in the most difficult of times. We are deeply grateful to Greenfingersand everyone involved for gifting us such a remarkable space.”
Greenfingers Charity also extends heartfelt thanks to all those who contributed to the creation of the Gathering Heart Garden, including LOFA, NPT Transatlantic, Abel Sim, Creative Health for planting and seating, the National Lottery, The Hobson Trust, the Bernard Sunley Trust and the Solar Centre. Their generosity – along with the dedication of designers, landscapers, volunteers and many other supporters of Greenfingers - has helped make this very special project a reality.
