The appeal focuses on the planting of wildflowers, that come with the free appeal pack, as a symbol of the donations made in return growing the care that Saint Catherine’s provides.

Chris shared her story on volunteering and how donations from this appeal will help the hospice to provide care, free of charge, to patients and their loved ones.
Ms Gadsden said: “We have a fantastic team who come in every week, rain or shine, to look after the lovely gardens that we are fortunate to have at the hospice.
"We all feel happy to be making a difference in this way and it’s wonderful when we get feedback from patients about how much they enjoy the gardens.”

“However, as we move into Spring, we would be most grateful if you choose to support your local hospice with the Sow the Seeds of Care appeal. On behalf of everyone at Saint Catherine’s, thank you so much for your support – it is truly appreciated.”
