Story

The Time Garden will be built and designed around the specific needs of the dying patient. It will be open all year round and there will be a pavilion to give shelter, as well as facilities for refreshments and music.

We hope the garden will be an idyllic place for patients to spend some of their last precious moments with their families. It will be a place for quiet contemplation, peaceful reflection and privacy for terminally ill patients to spend time on their own or with family members – and even have visits from much-loved pets.

Dying patients often express a desire to spend time outside during their final days – it is hoped the Time Garden will enable them to fulfil this wish. We hope you will support the appeal by making a contribution and by telling your family and friends about it.

 £43.80 would enable one family to use the Time Garden  

£100 will pay for refreshments for patients

£500 will help to provide comfortable seating

£1000 so the pavilion can be used in all weathers
