Their latest donation is one that keeps on giving as they provided us with three planters, four hanging baskets, bags of compost and the plants to put in them.
Suitable places were found for the hanging baskets, they were filled with compost and then various different bedding plants were put in them. They are a beautiful addition to the court yard that our Enablement Centre has, and really cheer the place up.
The planters were built by service users attending our Enablement Centre, who then filled them with compost and planted the various different types of vegetables, including brocolli, beetroot, spring onions and radishes.
The hope is that the vegetables will grow well, and then can be picked and eaten within the centre by the very people that put them there, some are in fact ready for picking and consuming very soon.
For some people that helped with the planting it is the first opportunity to become involved in gardening, and even more so in growing vegetables.
Seeds have also been provided for next year's crop, so watch this space, it could be the start of something big!
We would like to thank all those at Barclays in Wavertree for this great donation, something that can bring pleasure in watching and hopefully eating!
