The St John’s Hospice – A modern Apothecary
The idea behind this garden is to show the links between medicine and nature and as you walk around the path, you calm down and literally unwind.
One of the garden walls features a sculpture of Asclepius, the ancient Greek God of Medicine.
Rendered walls are broken up by trained espalier pears and yew trees.
Immerse yourself in herbs and flowering plants by finding the oak seating that is tucked away in the garden.
