St Andrew's Hospice has unveiled a stunning serenity garden as a "dream" becomes a reality.
Barratt Developments Scotland has supported the hospice with community-funded donations for two years now and has worked hard on transforming the space into an outdoor oasis for its patients.

The space aims to give an outdoor setting for families and patients to use to be able to relax and have a small walk around for some fresh air.
Lorna McCafferty, Trusts, Legacy and Individual Giving manager at St Andrew’s Hospice, said: “Creating a serenity garden has been a dream of the team here at the hospice.
"Having a space that our patients and their families can visit and relax in, whilst enjoying the outdoors, is absolutely vital and we can’t thank Barratt Developments Scotland enough for their hard work and effort – it wouldn’t have been possible without them.”
The housebuilder’s West of Scotland team obtained a list of materials needed to finish the space and enlisted the help of construction director Craig McFarlane and construction manager Tom Hill to survey the area.
Craighead Supply, Cartmore Building Supplies, Laird Bros, Advance Construction, A&B Reid Fencing and Landscape Design made both cash and material donations, and completed the labour over several weeks. DMI provided the CCTV for the garden and Edmiston Brown provided the lighting.
David Scott, Managing Director of Barratt and David Wilson Homes West Scotland, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be part of this project as giving back to local communities is a priority for the Barratt team.
"Seeing the garden come to life over the past few months has been fantastic and I’d like to personally thank the companies who donated materials, as well as their time, to make this happen.
"Having access to tranquil, outdoor space is so important and we hope patients and families enjoy the new garden.”
