Mount Vernon Cancer Centre in Northwood has recently installed a dedication sculpture, designed by the award-winning artist and garden-designer Jeni Cairns, in their fern garden.
Visitors can purchase personalised metal leaves or 3D blossoms to attach onto the sculpture to remember their loved ones, or to mark momentous occasions.
Jeni has won numerous awards within garden-designing, notoriously her Harrogate Flower Show awards between 2011-2013. She was also successful at RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival by winning gold in 2014 and 2016 and was commissioned to create a float for Her Majesty’s Platinum Jubilee in London this year.
Speaking about the design of the sculpture, she said: “I chose to represent Hawthorn with the sculpture as there is a lot of Hawthorn around the centre and it’s interesting for a sculpture because the leaves come out and then the blossom.”
“The leaves and blossoms will be available in copper, stainless steel and Corten steel which rusts beautifully. You pick the words you want engraved and it’s then installed on the sculpture.”
The fundraising manager at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre, Joe Dunster, said: “The sculpture is a wonderful opportunity for supporters, patients and staff to remember or celebrate a loved one who has been treated at the centre.”
The centre treats patients across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and the north London area.
