A GARDEN aimed at raising awareness about dementia will feature at this year's RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park.

Jane Bingham, and Penny Hearn of The Cheshire Garden have designed the 'Remember Me' garden to support Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity's new Dementia Appeal.

The designers have looked to create a ‘home from home’ outdoor space where people with dementia or a cognitive impairment can enjoy the freedom to be themselves.

It aims to educate and inform visitors of the journey that someone with dementia takes, from first diagnosis through to potentially, 24 hour care.

Designer, Jane Bingham, said: “Dementia is a key topic currently in society and the public should be aware of the effects and care that is available to them.

"As both mine and Penny’s families have been touched by dementia, we know first hand the effects which is why I was so keen personally to support The Dementia Appeal through the creation of the garden and I am excited to have some parts of the garden return to Crewe following this beautiful event.”

The RHS Flower Show Tatton Park has around 80,000 people visiting each year and runs from Wednesday, July 19 until Sunday, July 23.

Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity supports the Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at Leighton Hospital, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford.

The new Dementia Appeal aims to raise £1.5 million.
