Award winning RHS Chelsea Flower Show sculpture donated to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Spinal Injuries Unit

Leading wealth manager, Brewin Dolphin has donated the stunning Coccolith sculpture that formed part of its award winning 2016 RHS Chelsea Flower show garden to Horatio’s Garden at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Spinal Injuries Unit in Glasgow.

Horatio’s Garden is a charity that creates and lovingly cares for beautiful accessible gardens in NHS spinal injury centres, to provide stunning sanctuaries for patients and their family and friends.

Stephen Martin, Head of Brewin Dolphin’s Glasgow office and Rosy Hardy, designer of Brewin Dolphin’s 2016 RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden and winner of 21 gold medals handed over the Coccolith sculpture at the launch event of the second Horatio’s Garden, which was opened today by Appeal Patron Melanie Reid.

Esteemed nurserywoman Rosy Hardy achieved an impressive silver medal for her first ever show garden for Brewin Dolphin.

According to Stephen Martin: “Both Brewin Dolphin and designer Rosy Hardy were keen to create a legacy for the garden. It is always sad to see the show gardens disassembled after such hard work has gone into the design and building them. In this instance it’s exciting to know that the garden will live on at the fabulous Horatio’s Garden in Glasgow and can be enjoyed by others for many years to come.”

Horatio’s Garden is divided into six distinct spaces, each with a different purpose and designed to stimulate different senses – sight, smell, touch and all providing a sense of wellbeing. Situated on a bed of carefully chosen shrubs, the impressive Coccolith sculpture provides a focal point for the scented garden.
