A Gift and a Garden


On a grey, rainy morning at The green Patch, 
Carole received a message from a friend 
who works in a local Garden Centre


"We have some plants that are past their best,
 do you think that The Green Patch 
might be able to use them?"


Carole and Nigel went to investigate 
and returned with a wonderful collection of 
past their best (for this season) plants, herbs, 
strawberry plants and bird feeders.


Such kindness totally banished the grey 
clouds and Carole and Nigel completely 
forgot that they were damp from head to toe! 



As a thank you for the contact 


lovely Green Patch volunteers planted some 
tubs and containers to make a little garden 


by The Mollie. Many of the plants have been 
planted in the Bee Garden, whilst others are in 
new borders around the site.


Sharing, creating and growing together helps build communities, supports wellbeing, makes opportunities to create new friendships and a brighter future for us all. The Green Patch and the Avondale Grange Ward are special places and we feel so lucky to be working and connecting with the community during our View From Here project.
