Story

Thank you for visiting the page.



Horatio’s Garden is a national charity creating and nurturing beautiful gardens in NHS spinal injury centres to support everyone affected by spinal injury. We grow thriving communities to support patients, their families and friends facing long stays in NHS hospitals.

Leading landscape designers create these stunning sanctuaries, working in collaboration with prominent architects to design garden rooms ensuring the space can be used all year round. The gardens become an integral part of people’s lives throughout their time in hospital.

The charity is named after Horatio Chapple, a volunteer who had the original idea of creating a garden away from the wards for patients and their families.



As many of you know we have been fundraising for some time for the Cardiff Horatio's Garden which is now about to open thanks to all the efforts to date. The head gardener is about to be appointed and planting is underway. During this time it is extraordinary that this garden of tranquillity for both spinal and neurological patients has been created, almost on time.

We are now raising money for the maintenance of the garden . As part of this effort a group of us , including Huw and myself are cycling the challenging and hilly southern half of the Isle of Wight.

Thank you all for your continued support. Diolch yn fawr.
