I am delighted to be the landscape garden for Henrietta’s Garden.

A landscaped public garden, centred on the life and legacy of Henrietta Lacks, which is built upon and showcased within the names of the plants for their links to Henrietta and the significance of their colour.

Gardening brings joy to everyone. It’s about inclusion and bringing people together from all walks of life; different cultures, ages, abilities, and class.

Henrietta’s Garden is a symbol of hope and reflection. Through this symbol, stories are told using the narrative of plants and their connection with Henrietta’s statue and her everlasting story.

Thank you for the generosity of my friends and family for helping with the planting of the garden and for the amazing Bristol University Landscape, Horticultural team.
