Story
A Garden for Alice has been created specifically for young people with their interests and needs in mind. Who better to relate, than a young landscape designer Olivia Copley, who is passionate about developing an outdoor space for all on Alice Ward. Olivia is collaborating with Alice Ward staff, patients and families on how to create the best garden for everyone. Accessibility, safety, freedom of space and style, colours and themes are all important factors when designing a garden for young people. Focus groups have been a great way to understand the needs of patients, family members and staff and has helped Olivia to tailor the design to these ideas.
