PEOPLE are invited to catch a glimpse of the newly-refurbished gardens at Nottinghamshire Hospice.

The charity has had the grounds at its base in Woodborough Road, Mapperley, revamped after receiving a £105,000 grant from the Department of Health, plus donations from legacies and corporate funding.

Patients have had a say in both the design of the garden and how they will use it.

Mo Beeres, deputy chief executive of the hospice, said: "The therapeutic benefits of garden spaces for patients, their families and carers are well-known."

The hospice is planning a series of events to allow visitors to see the results of the work.

The first – a Forget-Me-Not service of remembrance and celebration – is due to take place within the grounds on May 31.

An open garden day in partnership with Mapperley Park Gardeners'Association is planned for June 22, with a summer fair on July 5.

The hospice would like businesses to help provide garden furniture, binoculars, bird boxes and tables and a webcam.

Anyone interested in helping is asked to e-mail info@nottshospice.org.
