Journey on Earth - The Hospice Garden | Large Gardens | Bloom 2013

: 24 May 2013

Our garden reflects our belief that Palliative Care is not preparation for the end of life; it is rather an opportunity to celebrate one's life and time on earth. The vital role played by our gardens in our patients’ spiritual and emotional journeys is echoed here with areas provided for social interaction or quiet reflection, both complimented by variety of gentle sensory experiences for our visitors.

Our garden will move to a permanent home on the hospice grounds in Harold's Cross after Bloom where it will be open to all.

Our design team consists of Eileen Nolan (Head Gardener, Our Lady's Hospice & Care Services), Dr Mary Toomey (Botanist, Gardener, Author and Lecturer) & Adrian Eggers of Living Design.
