The Fontana Garden
==================

 Large Show Garden

 The garden is sponsored by 92-year-old Derek Bishop, whose lifetime ambition has been to be part of a show garden. Derek has designed and constructed his own magnificent 14-acre garden in SE Cornwall and commissioned award-winning designer Kim Parish to design a garden that celebrates and reflects the diversity of planting opportunities within Cornwall. Upon completion of the show, the garden has been designed so that it can be gifted to Cornwall Hospice Care, who provide specialist care for end-of-life patients. It will provide an amazing resource for patients, their families and staff at a very difficult time.
