"The wonderful plants and flowers"

About: Western General Hospital (Edinburgh)

(as the patient),

While sitting in the sun waiting to go to my appointment @ the Western General Hospital on Tuesday, I was much cheered by a small wild flower meadow just about opposite the Minor Injuries Unit.   It looked so bonny in the sun and was covered in many very happy bees.  I also enjoyed all the other flower/plant beds, spectacular blue, blue lavender, all the Silver Birch Trees and all the planters and tubs along the way all full to bursting with cheery summery plants and flowers.

Not surprisingly I was anxious and worried  about my appointment but all your wonderful work took my mind well off my worries and helped me feel much more calm and relaxed.  So a big thank you to whoever @ the Western does the all the gardening and for all your hard work.   Def paid off for this patient - and I'm sure for many, many more as well.

Dear Jane A Doe,

Thank you for taking the time tell us about your recent visit to the Western General Hospital. I am so glad that seeing the gardens were able to take your mind off your appointment. We are very proud of our gardens and outside space. Jim and his team of gardeners work tirelessly all year round to create such spectacular displays.
