Nurture Group supports Hospice UK ahead of RHS Chelsea Flower Show

As part of its continued commitment to promoting the therapeutic benefits of plants and green spaces, national green-services provider Nurture Group has donated £25,000 to become a corporate partner of Hospice UK. Nurture’s partnership with Hospice UK will launch at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025, which is taking place between Tuesday 20 and Saturday 24 May.

The move aligns with the powerful message behind the charity’s Garden of Compassion and the long-term value of green spaces in end-of-life care. Following its week at RHS Chelsea, the garden will be relocated to St Cuthbert’s Hospice in Durham, where it will provide patients, families and staff with a permanent place of reflection, connection and comfort.

Nurture Group’s donation supports the project’s wider goals of highlighting the emotional, symbolic, and social value of hospice gardens. Additionally, it helps to ensure the show garden’s relocation after RHS Chelsea becomes a legacy for a community in need.

Peter Fane, founder and Executive Chairman at Nurture Group, said:

“Gardens have a unique ability to provide solace, dignity and connection, particularly at the most challenging times in life. Through this support, we are proud to help Hospice UK with the fantastic work they do in promoting and protecting hospice care for all in need. We are also delighted that the Garden of Compassion will be relocated and repurposed to provide a sanctuary that will continue to serve patients and their loved ones long after the show is over. This is a powerful example of how the spaces we nurture today can leave a meaningful, lasting impact on communities tomorrow.”
