It’s your last chance to visit the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity Garden of Light

The poignant display has attracted thousands of visitors since it opened at the iconic St Luke’s Bombed Out Church in Liverpool last month.

It features 2,100 specially made glowing steel flowers to support local people with cancer, those who care for them, and in memory of those we have loved and lost.

The flowers were designed especially for Clatterbridge by world renowned artist Emma Rodgers, a Patron of the Charity.

More than 700 dedications now adorn their petals and people have until 8pm on Friday to visit the garden and leave a message.

The flowers were arranged in a unique design by Royal Horticultural Society gardener Pip Probert.

The installation, sponsored by Medicash, has created a poignant tribute to cancer patients, their families and those who care for them at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool, Wirral and Aintree, and at a network of clinics across hospitals in Cheshire and Merseyside.

Katrina Bury, Chief Executive of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, said:

“We have been overwhelmed by the support for the Garden of Light and are so happy to have offered a place for reflection, remembrance, and celebration.

“We would like to thank Emma Rodgers for creating a unique and stunning flower that we feel is a fitting way to illustrate the affection people feel for Clatterbridge and those who have been treated there and continue their treatment.

“We are extremely grateful to Medicash for their support for the Garden of Light, all the volunteers who have helped, Pip Probert for her hard work on installing of the flowers, and the team at the Bombed Out Church.”

Andrew Healy MBE, CEO of Liverpool based health insurer Medicash, said:

“We’re proud to support this remarkable Garden of Light, which will help bring people together to honour loved ones and recognise the incredible care provided by Clatterbridge.

“This installation is a moving reminder of the strength, compassion and resilience found across our communities, and we’re grateful to play a part in helping the Charity continue its vital work.”

The flowers were produced by JM Fabrication in Birkenhead before being hand painted and finished by Emma at her studio in Wirral. The Charity have been assisted by Timbermat Ltd with matting to keep the ground around the flowers level.

Supporters are invited to dedicate a flower for a suggested donation of £20, with the option to pay an extra £30 to keep a flower after the installation has finished. All proceeds will help local people with cancer.
