About Maggie's

Maggie’s garden is part of the therapeutic space offered within the Maggie’s Centre. Everything has been designed to be calm and uplifting with a kitchen, library and counselling rooms. A visit to the garden also includes a tour of Maggie’s which is usually only open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm as a drop-in centre for people with cancer, and their family and friends. The centre, and the garden (with NGS funding) have recently been extended and areas replanted.
