About Horatio’s Garden

Horatio’s Garden is a unique charity based in the UK, dedicated to creating beautiful gardens in NHS spinal injury centres. Our mission is to provide a peaceful and restorative environment for patients, their families, and staff, helping to improve mental well-being during challenging times.

Founded by landscape designer Charlotte Harris, we believe that nature has a profound impact on healing. Each garden is designed to be a sanctuary, offering a space for reflection, relaxation, and social interaction.

• Core Activities: We design, build, and maintain gardens in various spinal injury units across the UK.
• Community Engagement: We involve local communities in our projects, fostering a sense of ownership and pride.
• Volunteer Opportunities: We offer numerous volunteering opportunities for individuals who wish to contribute to our cause.

Our gardens are not just about aesthetics; they are carefully planned to include sensory elements, accessible pathways, and seating areas that encourage social interaction. We work closely with healthcare professionals to ensure that our gardens meet the needs of patients and their families.

At Horatio’s Garden, we envision a world where every patient has access to a healing garden, promoting recovery and enhancing quality of life. Through fundraising events and donations, we strive to expand our reach and create more gardens in spinal injury centres across the country.

Join us in our mission to transform hospital environments into nurturing spaces that support healing and well-being.
