New Designs for Weston Hospicecare

We were delighted to be asked to design the main garden and inner courtyard areas for Weston Hospicecare as part of their application for government funding which will become available later this year. Although very well tended at present, the garden will benefit significantly from a design update.

The key elements of our design provide wide, sinuous paths which lead you around a raised area of lush, scented planting containing several seating niches to provide seclusion and privacy as well as viewing points for the prospect of Uphill Church. We have also incorporated a small labyrinth designed by the hospice’s gardener.

The somewhat neglected inner courtyard is viewed from several locations within the building. As well as providing an attractive outside space for both residents and staff our brief was to maintain the courtyard’s very important function as a haven for visiting ducks!

We have created a simple design with strong flowing lines softened by lush Mediterranean style planting. A path of limestone setts leads around a reflecting pond to a bespoke wooden bench, and fragrant climbers and eye-catching architectural palms add a touch of the exotic to this area.
