Suttons Seeds Support Garden Re-Leaf Day 2012 !

The Suttons Seeds team are very excited about their plans to support the first Garden Re-Leaf Day this year!!!

Published: 13 February, 2012

Garden Re-Leaf Day, which is being held on 13th March, is a new initiative that will involve many of the Gardening Industry's suppliers and retailers. Events will be held right across the country to raise money for our industry's charity, The Greenfingers Appeal, which builds gardens in children´s hospices (33 built to date) and also to help the community in general.

Suttons Seeds will be providing a ground-force style team that will be transforming an uninspiring outside area for Mayfield School in Torquay, into a sensational Sensory Garden. Mayfield is a special needs school that caters for children with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties. We will be ensuring that all the five senses will be tantilised by planting varieties such as long lavender for the children to walk through, curry plants to smell and microgreens to taste. As some childen using the garden will be wheel-chair bound we will also be utilising raised beds and our Vegtrugs that are the correct height for every one of the children to sow veg and maintain them easily.

There will also be beautiful flowers and tasty fruit planted as well as gourds which can be used later to make instruments and bowls.

The Suttons team are proud to support this very worthwhile cause!!!
