Story

The move from the current outdated and isolated site is crucial but our plans are also ambitious, we will include a children's area, pottery facility, upgraded workshops for woodwork, hanging baskets, garden furniture, Christmas decorations and more.

Local families without a garden of their own, will be welcome to visit and enjoy gardening time with their children. Learning from our Mencap in-house expertise; bringing the community closer together.

Access for the public to visit and purchase our wonderful creations will now be safe and easy. Spring baskets, Summer plants and Christmas decorations will be just some of the items we will be selling at competitive prices!

Total figure raised off line to date £40,000 on top of the current figure on JustGiving.

Poly Tunnels, raised flower beds are completed and on site. As you can see from updated photos. Tool shed, potting shed and storage facility are all funded. And are going up!

The Mulberry project is now moving into updating and enhancing the childrens play area as well as completing the horticultural project.

For the childrens area we are looking to raise £40,000 to purchase and install a Hobbit Hotel to provide fun, overnight camping experience for up to two children and two carers. Giving the children an experience they will remember and parents a nights respite.
