Hospice UK's Garden of Compassion at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 | Project Giving Back

In what is his final RHS Chelsea Flower Show Garden, multi award-winning designer Tom Hoblyn is to create the Hospice UK Garden of Compassion, to celebrate the important role played by hospice gardens in end-of-life care across the UK. This film, produced by Project Giving Back, explores the uniquely positive impact of gardens for patients and their families who are being cared for by hospices - including those at Hospiscare in Exeter. The Garden of Compassion's designer, Tom Hoblyn, explains the principles behind his design, and what he is aiming to achieve with the garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The film also follows his visit to craftsman Mark Tungate's workshop in rural Devon to see the Together Benches being made. About the Hospice UK Garden of Compassion Hospice UK is the national champion for more than 200 hospices in the UK, fighting to make sure hospice care is there for all who need it, for now and forever. It is that sense of permanence which Tom aims to capture in his innovative design. The garden is sponsored by Project Giving Back ‪@projectgivingback‬, the unique grant-giving charity that funds gardens for good causes at RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Tom has taken inspiration for the garden from his plant hunting trips in the Mediterranean, where ancient Olive Houses are built around monumental boulders, embracing nature’s raw beauty and rooting themselves firmly in the rocky landscape. Patients at the end of life often express a wish to enjoy the outdoors in their final days and following the show, the Hospice UK’s Garden of Compassion will be relocated to St Cuthbert’s Hospice in Durham. While Tom’s naturalistic design may challenge a traditional notion of a hospice garden, the design has been carefully curated by Tom, who worked closely with hospice occupational therapists, to ensure accessibility for all and easy access for both a wheelchair and a hospital bed.
