Viv and Sheila welcomed Cristina to her first community mission at Braywick Heath Plant Nurseries. Our task today was to go through the pots of perennials that are over-wintering in the glasshouse, removing any brown stems and foliage as well as any weeds and moss. After topping up some of the pots with fresh compost where required, we ended up with buckets full of old foliage and some much better-looking plants which should give them the best chance of taking off again in the spring. A satisfying task and it was lovely to meet Cristina

We are a small garden garden centre providing volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with support needs

We run a not-for-profit company, supported by paid staff & community volunteers to provide volunteering, work experience and employment for adults with a wide range of support needs. We are currently having a big clear out across our site, and need help moving all of the material to a skip. This will enable us to better use the space we have to expand our operations and better support our volunteers and staff.
