NHS Hospital Gardens
When someone imagines a hospital they likely don’t first think of gardens or nature, so we are trying to change this. Our main aims in creating hospital gardens are to improve wellbeing and build urban biodiversity. Hospital gardens can have an impact on the health and wellbeing of patients, staff and visitors as hospitals are often located in built up urban areas, so adding green spaces and giving nearby access to nature can really promote psychological well-being.
We are working closely with South Warwickshire Foundation Trust to create hospital gardens at Stratford-Upon-Avon, Leamington-Spa and Warwick.
