Details

Created in memory of the well-known weather presenter Dianne Oxberry, CED Stone Landscape were proud to sponsor the stone elements in the BBC North West Tonight Sunshine Garden. Lee Burkhill, otherwise known as The Garden Ninja, was the brains behind the beautiful design of the garden, with the intention of including meteorology elements in the garden that allowed one to keep a check on the weather, in honour of Dianne.

CED Stone Group Landscape donated Imperial Yellow Granite Paving to the project, keeping with the bright sunshine theme of the garden and brightening up the central area, assisting the rest of the garden in proving that even a small space could be “bright, uplifting and fit for all that the British weather brings.”In the centre of the garden, there was a beautiful ‘Florida Sunset’ rose, as named by Dianne’s husband, Ian Hindle, in memory of their annual family holidays to the Gulf of Florida.

After the show, the garden was relocated to The Wirral Hospice, a community-run organisation offering free care for patients with life-limiting illnesses.
