We are The Christie magazine July 2025 Staff edition

Feature story

We asked our patients, visitors and colleagues to share their reflections on the garden and were overwhelmed by the responses. Thank you to everyone who took the time to pass on their lovely words.

“I've been having treatment at The Christie for a while and the garden is incredibly important, its therapeutic value can’t be measured." Lynda Middleman

“We don’t use the garden now, but it’s a very special place to us. Before my mum Denise passed away, she spent an afternoon there with my son Finn, her grandson, who was three at the time. I’ll treasure the pictures I took forever and know Finn will too." Adele Sharp

“I had surgery, chemo and radiotherapy during lockdown and whether it was raining or not, I’d go and spend time in the garden. I donated money to plant new trees as a way of giving back to the place and people that saved my life." Kathy Morse
