The award-winning ‘Hope on the Horizon’ garden, designed by Matthew Keightley, of Maidenhead-based landscaping firm Farr and Roberts’, has been moved to a Help for Heroes Recovery Centre in Colchester where it will help servicemen, women and Veterans who have suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses.

It was shown at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May, where it was awarded a Silver-Gilt medal, and captured the hearts of the voting public who also crowned it their People’s Choice.

Since then, Matt and his team from Farr & Roberts have worked non-stop to landscape the outdoor space at the Recovery Centre in Essex.

With the support of the local community generously raising £100,000 towards the project, they have transformed the bare shrub land into a tranquil, peaceful haven that will now offer wounded veterans, serving personnel and their loved ones privacy and a place for reflection.

"Are you able to provide a few more details?  Maybe things like the number of hours you've used it, where you are based, what jobs you've used it on?"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "
