Broadcaster and writer Matthew Biggs has led a remarkable project to transform the garden area around the cancer treatment suite at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre into a calming, healing space for patients, families, staff and volunteers.

Inspired by his own experience as a patient, Matthew brought together leading names from the gardening world, generous supporters and the local community to turn an underused outdoor space into somewhere truly special, a place for reflection, wellbeing and hope.
