My inspiration for the garden came from an Italian caf\u00e9 garden with Cyprus trees and terracotta pots, which would be well-suited next to Costa on our concourse. I had no idea my designs would end up actually being used for the actual project!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.asianexpress.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/made-in-bradford-garden_23-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47441\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> (l-r) Head Gardener, Chris Clarke, and Estates Manager, Paul Noble, in the new garden<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m proud of myself and the team for contributing a small part to the welfare of others, with something we can leave behind at the hospital for everyone to benefit from. I\u2019m delighted to hear it\u2019s very popular and well-used already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After months of planning, the project started in February 2023 with colleagues from the Trust\u2019s Estates teams handling the labour involved and putting in the hours &#8211; even on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The garden was created for patients, visiting families and staff to enjoy and relax in for their wellbeing. Plans are in place to develop other spaces around the Trust\u2019s hospitals for this purpose too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Estates Manager, Paul Noble added: \u201cWe\u2019re proud of the hard work and dedication from all our colleagues involved \u2013 from inception to end product, the project was done as a team in-house. All the plastic used in the garden was from recycled plastic and we sourced all the materials and products from local suppliers.
