re-form Landscape Architecture has announced that works have started to create its design for the new wellbeing gardens and public spaces at The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Leeds.
Featuring mature trees and new planting zones, the spaces are designed to provide calming and welcoming areas for patients, families and staff.
A first for the MND service in Leeds, there will be spaces for sessions using walking aids and wheelchairs.
‘The hands of hope’, handprints of the Burrow family, patients and staff, will also be featured within the wellbeing gardens.
The National Trust has donated a Sycamore Gap tree which will act as a ‘tree of hope’ grown from seed.
The design also includes an accessible façade, a circular walkway, sociable and play spaces with textured, sensory and seasonally varied planting.
Hannah Thompson, associate director at re-form says the team worked with the clinical teams and MND patients in the design process. She adds:
“We’d like to thank the brilliant team who are giving their time, resources and skills to help us bring our designs to life over the coming weeks.”
Other collaborators on the project team include Nurture Group, Logic, Van den Berk Nurseries and Leeds Hospitals Charity.
