Horatio’s Garden has so far enabled the installation of gardens at seven of the UK’s 11 spinal injury centres
LIFE-CHANGING GARDENS: Arit Anderson and Dr Olivia Chapple taking part in the 1,100-mile trip across the UK
Joined by presenter and garden designer Arit Anderson for the final leg of the journey from London to Salisbury, the team of five cyclists set off from Musgrove Park in Belfast on Sunday, July 24, and averaged around 100 miles of cycling a day. Horatio’s Garden is named after Dr Chapple’s son, a 17-year-old aspiring doctor who was killed in a polar bear attack while on a school expedition on Svalbard, close to the North Pole.
The team of five cyclists included Horatio’s brother Titus, former spinal injury centre patient Toby Morgan-Grenville and his fiancee Olivia Caplan, and family friends Robin Butler and Mortimer McKechnie. Ms Anderson, who hailed the “healing and restorative power that gardens can offer,” said she was “thrilled” to accompany the team for their last leg, which Dr Chapple and her husband David also joined in on.
