The Conquest Hospital in Hastings was built around twenty one beautiful garden courtyards accessible from wards and public walkways. These wonderful oases were ahead of their time in recognising the impact green space and nature has on wellbeing for both staff and patients.

Twenty five years on, many are now sadly overgrown and in a poor state of repair.

A team of volunteers have got together to rebuild and restore these courtyards to their therapeutic best, using designs donated by leading garden designers and a team of green-fingered local volunteers.

One by one the gardens will be brought back into use to provide stimulation, enrichment and solace for our hospital community. Once completed the volunteers, with help from keen staff and patients, will maintain them for all to enjoy.

The team at Conquest 21 need funds for plants, materials and tools. All donations will be massively appreciated.
