In this episode Bunny chats to Dr Olivia Chapple MRCGP, the co – founder of the Horatio’s Garden Charity.

It was Olivia’s son Horatio that had the initial idea to create a garden for the spinal unit at Salisbury hospital. At the age of 16 he had started the fund raising, got permission from the hospital and earmarked the space having carried out a survey with the patients on how their lives, post a life changing injury, could be improved. 

Tragically Horatio was killed by a polar bear aged 17. Olivia took on the challenge and now seven of the gardens are established and they are aiming to create gardens for the remaining 4 spinal units too.
