I’m really please to be asked to do a talk for the London Gardens Trust as part of the Chelsea Fringe on 25th May.

The talk will be focussing on my experience as a gardener, a garden designer in healing gardens, the science behind Green therapies, and the development of therapeutic horticulture in the UK; past, present and future.

The venue is at Francis Holland School, 39 Graham Terrace, Sloane Square, London, SW1W 8JF and

starts at 6pm. Drinks and nibbles from 5.30pm.

If you’re unable to attend in person there is the facility to attend live or later via zoom. I believe this is on the same booking pathway – link below.

The most recent QNI Community Nursing Innovation Projects have begun across England.

The group of 12 projects are a diverse group representing two separate but connected themes – Gardens and Health, supported by The National Garden Scheme, and Personalised Care, supported by NHS England and Improvement. The Gardens and Health Projects are known as the NGS Elsie Wagg (Innovation) Scholarships.

The 12 nurse-led projects all aim, in different ways, to improve the health of a community or group of people in a particular location, using innovative approaches. All the projects benefit from a year of support by the QNI’s Innovation Team, and financial support to enable them to put their projects into action. Learning from the projects will help inform future developments in community healthcare.

The QNI is now seeking expressions of interest from healthcare organisations that would like to support innovation projects in the community this year, led by their Community Nurses.

If you are a Nurse or an employer, please contact them to discuss your ideas and find out how they can help you deliver an exciting new project to improve patient care.

The closing date for applications is 29 April 2022.
