The White Rose Wellbeing Garden at St James's University Hospital isn't for medical treatments or consultations though.

It's for moment of calm to give visitors or those working at the hospital a space to relax and reflect.

The project, which is the first of its kind for the region, was created by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and designed by well-known British award-winning garden designer and RHS ambassador Adam Frost.
