I want to update you all on this important garden that will bring the infected blood scandal to a huge audience at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show next year!
Following discussions with the RHS, I have redesigned the garden to give a more positive feel and am glad of the push! While the subject is dark, I realised that the previous version had focused too much on this, rather than on the hope that we have all had from the Inquiry, and so while the memorial panels remain, the new design is lighter in tone and feel.
I’m pleased to say the both the RHS and I are excited by this design, but in order to make this happen, I am still sourcing the funding.
I have just opened up a new crowdfunder – please do share – it’s a lot of money to raise but my brother’s widow has already pledged £100,000 so we are on our way! https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/chelsea-flower-show—infected-blood-scandal This is a new crowdfunder so look for this image at the start of it, not the previous image which has been superseded. If you are kind enough to pledge, be aware you can turn off the tip and set it to zero – there is no need for a tip as Crowdfunder will take a small percentage if we are successful.
The Crowdfunder will give you all the background information on the tragedy and the garden, and thank you all for your support.
