During our monthly residents meetings, residents have said they would like to do some gardening. After discussing this with our Manager Dan and deputy Jo, we have chosen one of our courtyard gardens to become the vegetable growing area. Residents can then plant the seeds they would like to grow, nurture them and then have the produce in their meals.
We have had some new gardening equipment donated, gardening gloves, kneeling pads, hand trowels and forks, watering cans, potato grow bags, seed trays and pots, soil tray and scoops, a pop up greenhouse and a ketor storage box, and a few seeds to get us started.
We are now holding an Easter raffle to raise money to purchase some raised beds for the residents to grow their vegetables in.
