World Child Cancer's Nurturing Garden

World Child Cancer's Nurturing Garden
Designed as a sensory haven, this garden brings joy, hope and escapism through nature for children undergoing cancer treatment. Circular raised beds, made from perforated clay blocks, offer diverse sensory experiences through soft-touch plants, fragrant herbs, and vibrant mosses whilst the lower raised beds cultivate edible plants for exploration. These low-maintenance, resilient plants symbolise the countries supported by World Child Cancer UK by improving global child cancer survival rates through community and healthcare empowerment. Supporting emotional wellbeing, a child and a parent can stroll through the reclaimed brick path, which leads to scenic meadow surrounded by tall trees, perennials, annuals, and shrubs. At its heart lies a seating area, which is a restful place for children and their loved ones.
