What is Horatio's Garden?
Spinal cord injury can happen to anyone, at any time, and the results are life-changing, and devastating. There is currently no cure for spinal injury.
Approximately 4,700 people have a spinal injury every year. It can happen to anyone at any time. The results are life-changing and devastating. Life may never be the same again for the person injured or for their family and friends around them. People will typically spend between three to nine months in a specialist spinal injury centre often far from home. They are 56% more likely to experience mental health issues with a fourfold risk of suicide.
Horatio's Garden know how essential it is to have an incredible garden on offer right outside the hospital ward as a critical part of the rehabilitation pathway. Places for reflection and adjustment, privacy and solace, joy and companionship to all who need it.
