Central to the design is a beautiful steam-bent wooden sculpture by Charlie Whinney, which twists and flows through the garden, incorporating seating areas, a child’s swing and creating the feeling of a big hug. After the show, the garden will be relocated to the Mother and Baby Unit Rosewood, part of Kent and Medway NHS Social Care Partnership Trust, to provide a safe, beautiful sanctuary and a place of hope for the women and their babies to spend time in. The planting has a natural feel, with a number of trees, some turning with autumnal colours, and areas of dense rich green planting at the front of the garden, becoming more colourful further back. As a symbol of how a garden both feeds the soul and our bodies, a selection of edible plants are also included. The BBC One Show and RHS Garden of Hope illustrates how growing plants helps provide hope for the future and makes the world a greener and more beautiful place.
