Huge congratulations to Megan Rees from Oxford who entered the competition hoping to change the life of her three year old daughter Ariella.
Ariella has severe disabilities, she was given a 10% chance of survival at birth and has beaten the odds. Her parents have had to give up work to provide round the clock care for her as her needs are so complex.
Ariella currently has nowhere safe to play outside and can’t even go to the park as it is too risky for her.
We are very excited to begin the transformation and give Ariella beautiful garden to play in. Watch this space!

Hello, I’m Julie, I have Sjogren’s syndrome and I’m a single mum working in the NHS.
My disease leaves me with joint pain and a horrible fatigue and being outside pottering around the garden would be good for me and my Sjogren’s.
The disease has taken away my ability to kneel as I have had a spinal fusion and a total knee replacement and am needing to have my other knee operated on. I am in pain every day of my life.
My request is a simple one – I would like my garden to have raised waist height beds so that I can plant and reach my herbs and have a vegetable patch and enjoy my garden again.
I used to love my herb garden and I really miss it and rarely go in the garden these days as I can’t bend to look after it.
I want to grow my own produce and juice the vegetables to improve my health. I would be grateful for this opportunity to have my garden back – thank you.

We have recently moved from a terraced house to a house with a garden. The reason we moved was our 4 year old daughter who has down syndrome. This house gives her the outdoor area to run around and play outside which she loves doing. She loves running and playing football and is happy doing just...
