NHS Property Services recently commissioned us to design and implement a sensory garden in the grounds of The Wilson Hospital . The Social Prescribing team will use the space to support the health and wellbeing of the local community ; staff , volunteers , and patients who have been prescribed outdoor exercise and gardening will use and maintain the space . The accessible garden design creates a welcoming space with plenty of seating , wide paths , and deep planting beds , whilst the plant species , bird boxes , and insect hotels were chosen to increase local biodiversity , as well as for sensory enhancement . Many of the plants were donated by the Wimbledon Foundation , giving a new home to the plants from the tennis tournament this summer .
The garden was funded by NHS Property Services , The Span Trust , and The Worshipful Company of Gardeners . Design by Groundwork London Landscape Architects ; construction by Ginkgo Gardens .
