A garden designed for a Sheffield hospital has won the top prize at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Designers Charlotte Harris and Hugo Bugg, from Harris Bugg Studio, consulted patients and NHS staff as they developed the garden, which is intended as "immersive, restorative" space for people recovering from life-changing spinal injuries. The garden has cement-free terrazzo-style paths that can be accessed by patients in beds and wheelchairs, as well as layered planting to allow interaction from various levels.
Dr Olivia Chapple, founder of Horatio's Garden, said the award was "absolutely incredible" and "amazing for Sheffield".
