THE garden at the new Les Bourgs Hospice will soon be filled with £12,000-worth of plants.

Blue Diamond, which owns Le Friquet Garden Centre, has donated the plants.

‘We are always delighted to be involved in projects that will make a very real difference to islanders and there is no doubt that the new Les Bourgs Hospice will do exactly that,’ said Blue Diamond managing director Alan Roper.

‘The team behind Les Bourgs has done an amazing job in raising millions of pounds to make the dream of a new, purpose-built, state-of-the-art hospice a reality and it is an absolute pleasure for Blue Diamond to be able to reduce the cost of creating the gardens.’

Good to see a big company giving all these plants away something that will last for many years and will help those a little to relax
