Award-winning Garden Designer Paul Hervey-Brookes has again worked on the RNIB Talking Books garden which in many ways brings the Library of the Imagination to life through the garden’s design. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Helen Smith, Head of Supporter Experience at the RNIB, who came up with the concept for the garden celebrating 90 year’s of RNIB Talking Books. The RNIB Talking Books Garden has been kindly supported by players of the Postcode Lottery through the Postcode Care Trust.
