Why Daisies?
Daisies are often seen as a symbol of new beginnings, breakthroughs, and bright futures. In Celtic, Norse, and Roman mythology, daisies also represent harmony, balance, and transformation. We use the symbolism of the daisy to highlight important sites of individual and community-based care, working to enhance environmental sustainability through regeneration and rehabilitation.
