AN AWARD-winning Whitchurch gardener has designed a garden with a breast cancer charity that will be displayed at the Chelsea Flower show later this month.

Sarah Eberle, who lives in Cole Henley, has teamed up with cancer charity The Haven to create the Breast Cancer Haven Garden, which will be displayed at the flower show in London between May 19 and May 23.

The 58-year-old mother of three, who has donated her own time to bring the garden to life, has previously won nine gold medals at Royal Horticultural Shows, including the Chelsea Flower Show and the Hampton Court Flower Show.

She was also named the British Association of Landscape Industries Grand Award winner in 2007.

The garden, which aims to raise awareness of the physical and emotional support available for people suffering with breast cancer, is centred around Tom Hare’s willow woven oak leaf nest and will take motivation from Haven centres which are places of embrace, reassurance and care.

Sarah said: “As my first charity garden, this is a very special project to undertake for RHS Chelsea 2015.

“The Breast Cancer Haven Garden will be a space to be, with others or alone if desired – a place to connect with nature and to relax in comfort.”

Chief executive of The Haven, Pamela Healy OBE, added: “To be accepted to exhibit at RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a huge milestone for The Haven as it gives us the opportunity to showcase our free breast cancer support service to an international audience.

“We are hugely indebted to Nelson’s for their generous sponsorship and to Sarah for capturing our service in such a visual and sensory form.”

She added: “And, after the show finished, our garden will be recreated at our new haven in Wessex, so visitors can enjoy it for many years to come.”

Sarah is not the only gardener in the Whitchurch area to have tasted success at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Rosy Hardy, of Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants, in Priory Lane, Freefolk Priors, has won more than 15 gold medals at the show.
