The new children’s hospital with its undulating profile merges into the adjacent Springfield Park in Liverpool. The three fingers of the new building create a series of garden spaces for the therapeutic benefit of children, their families and staff – including a Garden of Reflection, play spaces within the ‘Wet Ravine’ and a quieter gardens in the ‘Dry Canyon’.
While at BDP, Sally led the landscape design for the gardens and grounds of the new Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, taking the project from concept through to planning. She worked closely with the hospital team throughout the consultation process to create a rich and engaging external environment that complemented the strong architectural vision. The project was particularly rewarding as it enabled her to help shape a nurturing and holistic setting that supports the wellbeing of children, their families, and hospital staff.
