Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

Studies have shown that Gardens can have a profound effect on the health and wellbeing of all of us. The presence of plants and the act of tending the garden are both beneficial in reducing stress, depression and anxiety. A garden provides a tranquil area to enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet, where nature can transport us away from our busy lives.

At Milton Keynes University Hospital, the Pharmacy Team have been given an opportunity to create a garden in the courtyard area within the department that has previously been overgrown and unused. The creation of a new garden within the courtyard will give all of our Pharmacy staff an area to relax and de-stress during their break time, whilst surrounded by plants and flowers, and hopefully enjoy a little sunshine!

we are looking to raise funds to get the garden project started and to develop its growth over time. The courtyard is approximately 80 metres square, so there will be plenty of room for plants and seating.

We will be trying to raise some funds within the department, and would also be grateful for any donations to the project.
