New garden at Rutland Memorial Hospital will help patients recover

Patients, staff and dignitaries in the new garden at Rutland Memorial Hospital

The garden, which is overlooked by the hospital’s in-patient Rutland ward, was paid for from a charitable bequest by Uppingham resident Ted Toon.

The average time spent on Rutland ward is 21 days and the aim of the garden is to play a crucial role in aiding recovery and making both patients’ and visitors’ time there enjoyable.
