Gloucester widow Clare Young created this full-size knitted Show Garden installation in memory of her husband Ken. Through this, the world鈥檚 first knitted Show Garden, Clare is hoping to raise 拢50,000 for Sue Ryder 鈥 the hospice charity that helped care for Ken and aided Clare鈥檚 own battle with anxiety and depression since his death.
Clare said, 鈥淎fter Ken died, I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, and my clinical psychologist suggested knitting as a way to help my symptoms.鈥
Clare鈥檚 4 x 4m (13 x 13ft) garden features a hospice bedroom overgrown with knitted plants such as lavender and rosemary, known for their healing properties. Included are 10,000 鈥榳orks of heart鈥 鈥 small hand-knitted or crocheted hearts 鈥 created by local knitters, community groups and celebrities.
