"Harris Bugg leave no stone unturned in their discovery of detail for their designs. They have a natural ability to use story telling within the garden to create an immersive sanctuary of outstanding beauty."
Dr. Olivia Chapple OBE, Horatio's Garden founder
Created for patients, their families, outpatients and the 250 staff who care for them, the garden is part of daily life here. Head Gardener Ruth Calder, together with a team of staff, volunteers and visiting artists, lead gardening activities and creative sessions for people often facing long stays in hospital following sudden, life-changing spinal injuries.
Our design for the garden is rooted in the character of Sheffield, from a water feature made using historic cutlery casts, to stone cairns built by fifth-generation master wallers Noble Stonework .
The garden made a stop at RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2023 on the way, where it made history as the first adaptive garden on Main Avenue, and was awarded both a Gold medal and Best in Show.
