Hospice gardens open

VISITORS are being invited to view the gardens at St Peter’s Hospice later this month.

The gardens, designed to be a therapeutic and welcoming space for patients and their families, will be open from 10am-4pm on Sunday June 22 with refreshments and guest talks also on the agenda. 

There will also be craft workshops from Ffion Morgan, live music from Pizzazz orchestra, cream teas and tours from St Peter’s Hospice head gardener Anneke van Eijkern. 

Guest talks will come from horticulturist Caradoc Doy and the National Trust’s youngest head gardener Sam Finch.

Event organiser and community fundraising manager, Sophie Cullinane, said: “The gardens are an important way to build a sense of community – patients, families and staff can come together and relax. They are lovingly crafted by our team of dedicated volunteers and our head gardener Anneke. 

“This event is a way to help us continue to maintain a relaxing and welcoming space that supports people in our community when they need it most.” 

St Peter’s Hospice is Bristol’s only adult hospice providing inpatient care as well as community support to those with life-limiting illnesses. 

Tickets cost £8 each or are free for those aged 15 or under.  Book online in advance to secure places.
