The charity creates beautiful, well-designed outdoor spaces for children to enjoy with their family, friends and siblings, whether through play and fun, or therapeutic rest and relaxation.
Greenfingers Charity is driven by the belief that time spent outdoors, away from the bedside, can offer children and families under considerable stress a vital opportunity to embrace the benefits of being in the fresh air and engaging with the natural environment.
The charity is committed to creating specially designed, stimulating garden spaces that can bring many benefits to children with life-limiting conditions. Whilst many people may take for granted the simple pleasure of being able to enjoy a garden, for these children, their siblings and their families, the chance to spend time together outdoors and away from the bedside is precious.
Greenfingers Charity has a waiting list of hospices across the nation that need their help now. As well as projects in Walsall, Kent, Shropshire, and Sheffield, they are currently working hard to bring a new garden to life at The Nook, which is part of East Anglia Children’s Hospices.
This new garden has been designed by Gold Medal-winning designer, Ann-Marie Powell and is currently being built by Stewart Landscapes. The charity hopes the garden will be officially opened in Spring 2024.
