A former Orleans Park School pupil, who has won awards for garden landscaping, has designed a garden at a children's centre in Africa.

Matthew Keightley, who attended the Twickenham school between 1996 and 2001, completed the landscaping of the Mamohato Centre in Maseru, Lesotho.

He was invited by Prince Harry and charity Sentebale to design the landscape after a garden at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show for the prince's charity.

Mr Keightley said: "In the development of the centre’s grounds, I used many of the local building techniques to create features such as a communal fire pit, as well as structures that created areas for the children to relax and play in.

"These designs were later used to inspire the 'Hope in Vulnerability' garden at Chelsea, so that the public could really understand and relate to what it would be like at the Mamohato Centre itself.

"Now, six months later, the children’s centre is complete and the legacy of the Chelsea garden lives on."

The children's centre is Sentebale's first purpose-built building which will support all of the charity's work with vulnerable children.

It will provide a safe place for those stigmatised by the loss of parents to come to terms with having HIV.

Set at the foothills of the Thaba-Bosiu mountains, Mr Keightley's designed structures around the centre using locally-sourced materials to create areas for play and learning.

He added: "We were invited out to Lesotho last year, which was hugely inspiring trip, and one that influenced a lot of the design for the Chelsea garden.

"The beauty and surroundings of the mountainous region combined with the spirit of the children’s centre as many will remember, were used to bring to life the centre’s ethos and raise awareness of what Sentebale do and just how much of an impact they have on the children of Lesotho."
