Gathering heart garden brings joy to hospice children

Conwy-based children's hospice Ty Gobaith have unveiled a new sensory and sentimental space for local children and families to enjoy year-round.

The Gathering Heart Garden was made possible by Greenfingers - a national charity dedicated to creating magical, therapeutic gardens for life-limited children and their families in hospices across the UK.

The beautiful new garden was officially opened on Tuesday 30th September 2025 with a host of families, children and project supporters invited.

Created by the talented teams at CW Studio and Landstruction, the garden has been thoughtfully designed as a place of movement, interaction, and sensory engagement.

With inclusive play equipment, shaded seating areas, and quiet spaces for reflection, the Gathering Heart Garden will provide life-enhancing moments for children, families, and staff, evolving beautifully with the seasons.

Andy Goldsmith, CEO of Hope House Children’s Hospice, commented: “Every day we see the difference that outdoor space makes to the children and families who come to Hope House.

“The Gathering Heart Garden is far more than a garden – it is a sanctuary of play, laughter, and peace where families can create lasting memories together, even in the most difficult of times.

“We are deeply grateful to Greenfingers Charity and everyone involved for gifting us such a remarkable space.”

The project was also made possible by Anne Duchess of Westminster’s Fund, Baron Davenport’s Charity, The Hobson Charity, The MBNA General Foundation, Bruce Wake  Charitable Trust, The Walker Trust, Mondelez/Cadbury Foundation, Chatwin Trust and The National Lottery Community Fund.
