Butterfly Garden at Charlton Farm Children's Hospice

We made over the gardens at Bristol's new Children's Hospice to mark Richie's birthday. Donating £500 towards materials, we transformed the space with an array of aromatic and pretty plants and a focal point, butterfly garden.

The garden was located in a very special part of the hospice right next to the sanctuary and chapel area. A restful and pretty area was much needed to provide a gentle and peaceful outlook.

Taking the Children's Hospice symbol of a butterfly, we made over the area with butterfly attracting plants like Buddleia, Lavender and the appropriately named, Forget-me-not. We also put up butterfly nesting boxes along with pretty sparkly, feather butterflies to create a pretty wall display.

Topped off by enchanting solar lights, the garden looked truly magical!

Richie's Reading Corner

Lympstone School

Richie loved reading and was very passionate about getting kids to love books. Therefore, we thought it was a perfect tribute to create a 'Reading Corner' at Lympstone School in his memory.
