Thrive in Northern Ireland

07/06/2006

People with sight loss have been benefiting from Thrive’s extensive knowledge at the ‘Seeing Better Ireland’ exhibition.

Lucy Morrell spent two days promoting the work of the National Blind Gardeners’ Club. The club provides a quarterly magazine and residential courses to encourage practical ideas to make the garden a more sensual experience for people with sight loss.

Lucy said: ‘I have been swamped with interest for Thrive to do more work in Northern Ireland.’
