Constructing Minds Show Garden for The RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park July 2023
by Carolyn Hardern & Jon Jarvis
We are volunteering our time designing & making this garden to raise awareness of mental health within the construction industry.
supporting the construction industry charities The Lighthouse Club and Mates in Mind
The Mental Health crisis in construction is known as the silent epidemic. Every single working day in the UK two workers take their own lives. This garden provides a calming space where a construction worker can start the process of disconnecting from negative thoughts.
After the show, the garden will be moved to Clatterbridge Hospital, Wirral where it can be a place of tranquility for patients, visitors and staff.
