Highland Hospice has handed over its sunflower display to the Inverness Museum in aid of a new exhibition.
The hospice’s head of fundraising Andrew Leaver said: “We invited people to create these beautiful sunflowers in May 2020 with the aim of creating a cascade to mark our Wear Yellow Day in May 2021. We received many more flowers than anticipated, which resulted in the creation of two cascades instead of one.
“Having one of these creations displayed in Inverness Museum in the build-up to this important story-telling exhibition is just wonderful, and we are grateful to our supporters for making the project such a positive story to share from the pandemic.”
This exhibition, launching in April 2022, will explore the pandemic and its effects on the Highland region.
Inverness Museum assistant Joe Setch said: “The sunflower cascades created for the hospice are a perfect example of the Highland community coming together to do something positive in appreciation of an important healthcare provider, during lockdown. Our experiences over the past year-and-a-half have shown us the importance of health and its ability to affect every aspect of our lives.”
