Highlights of 2020
2020 was a year like no other but we adapted to the circumstances and managed to achieve a lot. Here are some of our 2020 highlights:
Our wonderful team of workers, volunteers and funders who we couldn’t have got through the year without.
Our Green Therapy group for their fantastic work, education and enthusiasm.
Tree planting in the local community which saw us plant thousands of trees to build biodiversity, combat climate change and improve wellbeing.
Getting the poly tunnel constructed so we could grow lots of plants and edibles throughout the year ready to transfer into our raised beds.
Starting the creation of the kitchen garden with the building of raised beds, pathways and planting.
Maintaining the Garden of Wellbeing with regular planting of edibles, weeding and watering.
Our ‘Sow & Grow at Home Challenge’ which saw participants create a show garden for us to judge on VE Day.
Our ‘Harvest Share Project’ which got volunteers together in the great outdoors to pick a variety of fruits from gardens and orchards and distribute them to care homes, hospitals and animal sanctuaries in the local community.
Our online shop and the sale of our ‘Grow Your Own Veg At Home’ boxes which were a big success during lockdown and helped us raise funds to support our community work and garden work at Stratford-Upon-Avon hospital to give thanks to NHS staff.
Running online exercise classes, walks for wellbeing and completing the 3 Peaks Challenge which saw us collectively walk, run or cycle 1,020km.
Celebrating Halloween with our Pumpkin Carving Competition which saw so many amazing efforts and lots of prizes for the winners.
Creating our own composter out of recycled pallets so we could make our own compost.
Celebrating Christmas with presents and gratitude jars and distributing festive gift bags to the Parkinson’s Support Group.
Thank you to everybody who supported us throughout 2020 by volunteering, donating, funding, purchasing from our shop and following us on social media. It means the world to us and let’s hope 2021 will bring health and happiness.
