A Rubery business F.B. & Sons Lawns & Landscapes have announced an exciting partnership with Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre which will see them showcasing a unique show garden called ‘St Godwald’s Retreat’ at the prestigious RHS Malvern Spring Show.
The garden will then go on to find it’s forever home after the show in the grounds of Primrose Hospice in Bromsgrove, providing a safe and tranquil space for anyone to enjoy.
Marc Harbourne-Bessant from F.B & Sons Lawns & Landscapes said: “We knew that we wanted to design a garden space for a hospice as we are all too aware of the incredible work hospices do across the country. From our first visit to Primrose, we could see how vital their work is to support patients and families.
Whilst we are aiming for a highly-coveted Gold Medal at RHS Malvern, our sheer inclusion in the show will hopefully raise awareness of the work that Primrose does. That is enough of a reward for us!”
The garden will have many special features including the temporary move of the Primrose memory tree and ‘wind telephone’, whilst not physically connected, the wind telephone can be used to share news or feelings with our loved ones who have died. The telephone will be housed in a hand-built gazebo to give shelter and sanctuary for anybody to use.
Angelique Dalton Chief Operating Officer at Primrose Hospice said: “We are so privileged and thrilled to have been approached by F.B & Sons Lawns & Landscapes. The opportunity for the Hospice to be part of the RHS Malvern Show is just incredible and would not have been possible without the support of Marc, Darryl & the F.B & Sons team. We are all so excited that the garden will be transported and planted here at the Hospice after the show has finished. This will enable the patients and clients we support, as well as our volunteers and staff, to benefit from this beautiful garden. We cannot wait!”
