Green Fingers

We all know someone whose green fingers raise the loveliest lettuces, the most fabulous flowers and the most magnificent marrows – and perhaps that’s you! If so, there could be an organisation in your area just waiting for you share your enthusiasm and expertise.

Maybe you know the perfect plants to tempt butterflies and bees, or just the right thing to grow in pots or a window-box? Local schools, drop-in centres, homes for older people and hospices often need extra help to make the most of their green spaces – and what could be better for body and mind than making a garden a space for rest, education and beauty.
