The garden at Maggie’s West London was designed by Dan Pearson in 2008. It is now a well established space offering therapy and peace to those affected by cancer each yr. The gardens surround the vivid orange walls of the centre. The path leading to the centre meanders through scented beds and mature trees. Visitors have access to various courtyards with a wonderful array of flora inc fig trees, grapevines and even a mature pink silk mimosa.
The garden surrounding the centre is designed by the world-famous Dutch Landscape Architect Piet Oudolf, who envisioned a dynamic landscape. The garden is divided into four interconnected zones. Piet has carefully chosen the plants according to how much sun each zone receives. We have the shaded, woodland, spring and summer zones, creating a powerful experience for the eyes.
Maggie’s Swansea’s gardens wrap around the building, and overlook into Swansea Bay. The garden, designed by Kim Wilkie, attracts wildlife, heightening the natural and tranquil feel, and there is also a fully functional allotment. The Centre sits among a small wooded area, and the wings of the design also help to shelter the outside seating areas, meaning that visitors can enjoy sitting out for as much of the year as possible.
Our newly created garden was designed by Pip Morrison, which surrounds our cancer support centre. With the building being on stilts, it is an oasis for shade loving plants. Tree and shrub planting and wildflower seeding strengthen existing communities of plants and offer an evolving habitat for local wildlife. Clare Foster, Garden Editor at House & Garden will be available to answer any questions.
The architecture of Maggie’s Manchester, designed by world-renowned architect Lord Foster, is complemented by gardens designed by Dan Pearson, Best in Show winner at Chelsea Flower Show. Combining a rich mix of spaces, inc the working glasshouse and vegetable garden, the garden provides a place for both activity and contemplation. The colours and sensory experience of nature becomes part of the Centre through micro gardens and internal courtyards, which relate to the different spaces within the building.
The garden is framed by enclosing walls. The building ‘floating’ aloft is like a drop curtain to the scene, creating a picture window effect. The garden designed by Rupert Muldoon has trees soaring upwards filling the space. A woodland understorey weaves between the structure of the numerous white birch and crispy bark of the pine trunks. The garden could be described as an ornamental woodland.
