Help For Heroes is going to the Chelsea Flower show
"A garden built for heroes, by heroes, to raise funds and awareness for Help For
Heroes
All Seasons Design and Landscaping are proud to announce that their Help for
Heroes Sanctuary Garden, designed for prominent UK charity Help for
Heroes and generously funded by B&Q, has been selected for exhibition at the
Chelsea Flower Show in May 2009.
Drusilla Stewart & William Beresford, All Seasons' top designers, have created
the successful entry. The garden is designed to be easily accessed by those with
mobility issues and to appeal to all the senses.
All Seasons Design and Landscaping, based in London and Wiltshire, have 14 years
experience designing and building gardens to the highest standards. Drusilla Stewart,
an army wife whose husband will unfortunately not see the completed garden as he
will be deploying to Afghanistan just before the show opens, is utterly delighted
that her design has been accepted by the Royal Horticultural Society.
"I am very excited to be representing Help For Heroes in their very first appearance
at Chelsea. The design itself was inspired by conversations with the wives of servicemen
whose husbands are about to deploy to Afghanistan this year. The garden is designed
as a symbolic sanctuary where those who do not return safely can find focus and
the peace with which to deal with either physical or mental trauma after the ordeal
of operations."
"We hope our team of landscapers will be joined by servicemen and women from The
Joint Services Rehabilitation Unit at Headley Court, to help to build the garden.
Both my husband and I have received treatment there and I know what excellent work
they do."

About Help For Heroes
Since its inception in October 2007, Help for Heroes has become a National Institution,
raising £1 million a month to help support our wounded servicemen and women injured
in the current conflicts. The charity, aimed at servicemen and women injured in
Iraq and Afghanistan, is intended to provide better facilities, particularly at
Headley Court, the military hospital in Surrey.
A charity cannot fill all the gaps in what should be publicly funded care for the
casualties of war. But supporting Help For Heroes is a way of demonstrating that
our military heroes are not forgotten.
Co-founder and Chief Executive of Help for Heroes, Bryn Parry, explains how important
positive action is :
"This is not about politics, there is no need to criticise or complain. Why moan
about it being dark when you can light a candle? We may have started something but
thousands have joined us to make this what it is today. This is about ordinary,
decent people wanting to do their bit to help, to raise money by joining in and
so creating something that has become rather wonderful."
