“Months of planning, sowing weeding and watering paid off for Thrives gardening clients, as we celebrated our annual Flower Show." said Specialist STH Practitioner, Vicki
"It truly was a chance to celebrate all that we have achieved in the garden so far this year, with client gardeners able to show their family and friends around, sit and share tea and delicious cake, listen to the music or join in one the activities available.
A highlight of summer and a joy for practitioners to see the pride that our clients have in the garden and the wonderful community spirit that thrives within our garden.”
