Macmillan Legacy Garden represents the expert care given by Macmillan Cancer Support to people living with cancer.
The twisting pathway through the garden’s centre and across a reflective pool, symbolically illustrates how Macmillan provides support through the often confusing and painful journey of a cancer diagnosis. Three large sculptural monoliths represent how one third of Macmillan’s income comes from gifts in wills. Plants and surfaces are initially sharp, jagged, dark and brooding, becoming more vibrant then calming around the seating area.
A Legacy Tree at the front of the garden is there to encourage visitors to hang written messages within its branches about their legacy.
