This fabulous garden was won in Dublin’s Bloom Garden 2019  Competition by  the HSE Mid-West and donated to St. Ita’s Community Hospital. The Friends of St. Ita’s paid the costs of the relocating and reconstruction in the grounds of St. Ita’s together with quite considerable and expensive associated works bringing the whole venture to over €52,000.00.
