Hospice Celebration Garden returns to raise money

Hundreds of hand-crafted snowdrop sculptures will be planted in Worcester to raise funds to support patients and their families

A hospice is to plant hundreds of hand-crafted sculptures of snowdrop flowers to raise money for its care.

St Richards Hospice has created the Celebration Garden, on display from Friday for the next two-and-a-half weeks at The Hive in Worcester.

The garden aims to celebrate the life of lost loved ones, and those who donated to have a snowdrop in the garden will be able to take it home at the end of the installation.

Emily Gicquel said: "Supporting Celebration Garden each year helps us feel close to Mum.

"We recently visited the hospice to take a stroll in its beautiful gardens and the feeling was still the same – we felt connected.

"St Richard’s will always be part of our family, and when the snowdrops are all in place we’ll know there are hundreds of others who feel the same."

The garden display will be taken down on 26 August.
