Horatio’s Garden is a charity that creates and cares for beautiful gardens in NHS spinal injury centres. Leading garden designers develop the stunning sanctuaries for patients, their family and friends. Activities in the gardens include garden therapy, art, artists in residence, tea and cakes and music concerts. The charity is named after Horatio Chapple.

Story

Sam's dad spent 4 months in Salisbury spinal unit after a heart operation left him paralysed.  Horatio's Garden was a place that he often sat in either to meet his family and dogs or just to sit and come to terms with what's happened.  It's a beautiful garden designed with the life changing injuries in mind.  They can help tend the plants or just help themselves to tea and sit and enjoy the sunshine.  A treat that would otherwise be out of the question for people in hospital for long periods.

The garden was the brainchild of Horatio Chapple and his father David a surgeon at Sailsbury Spinal Hospital.  Horatio would volunteer there during the school holidays.  Sadly Horatio was killed by a Polar Bear aged 17 so in his honour the charity was set up and the garden built.
