Autumn 2022Double award win for Petrus at RHS Tatton Park
Petrus, a Rochdale-based homelessness charity, won two awards at this year’s RHS Flower Show Tatton Park with their Journey Home entry.
Journey Home was designed and built by staff, volunteers and service users from Petrus, offering a place of quiet reflection on what home means to each of them.
Journey Home received a Silver Gilt award from show judges, the highest award Petrus has received at RHS Tatton Park, having won bronze and silver medals in 2019 and 2021.
Petrus’ garden also won coveted People’s Choice Award for Best Garden – voted for by visitors – for the third year running. Rachael Bennion, Petrus Service Manager and the garden’s primary designer, said: “You can only have a front garden if you have a home, and the path some people take to their own front door isn’t always easy.
“It’s incredible what we can do with the right opportunities and support.”
