This
was an exciting and different project! The proposal
came from a group of nurses and carers who knew exactly
what they wanted for their courtyard garden project.
 A
summerhouse was moved – plants removed and existing
surfaces pressure cleaned. New play tiles were laid
to increase the safe play area, and murals were painted
on the block walling. At the same time, a second area
was improved for parents and children to relax in. This
area retained the existing flower beds but with new
planters and hanging baskets, and they planned to add
a barbecue.
All the work was carried out by
the team of nurses and careers who had drummed up lots
of help from local volunteers.
We were delighted to help them and
were very impressed with the results – especially
the mural painted by Neal Orton – truly Jurassic
Park had arrived.
A wonderful
effort that shows what self-help really can do.
