The
Suttons Seeds team are very excited about their plans to support the first
Garden Re-Leaf Day this year!!! Garden Re-Leaf Day, which is being held on 13th
March, is a new initiative that will involve many of the Gardening Industry's
suppliers and retailers. Events
will be held right across the country to raise money for our industry's charity,
The Greenfingers Appeal, which builds gardens in children´s hospices (33 built
to date) and also to help the community in general.
Suttons
Seeds will be providing a ground-force style team that will be transforming an
uninspiring outside area for Mayfield School in Torquay, into a
sensational Sensory Garden. Mayfield is a special needs school that caters for
children with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties. We will be
ensuring that all the five senses will be tantilised by planting varieties such
as long lavender for the children to walk through, curry plants to smell and
microgreens to taste. As some childen using the garden will be wheel-chair
bound we will also be utilising raised beds and our Vegtrugs that are
the correct height for every one of the children to sow veg and maintain them
easily.
There
will also be beautiful flowers and tasty fruit planted as well as gourds
which can be used later to make instruments and bowls.
The
Suttons team are proud to support this very worthwhile cause!!!
