We are delighted that most of our students have now returned to the Garden and their work placements.
Jean Gavin, our Employability Manager, has done a tremendous job, and has had great success in finding placements for many of our students. You can see what a lot she has achieved in our Routes to Work update page.
Our thanks are due to the volunteers who manned our successful plant stall in Gartmore in aid of the Garden Open Day, and to everyone who purchased plants. We also had a stall during the Open Gardens Scheme at which we sold plants, which raised a considerable sum through sales and donations.
The sheep, pigs and poultry have done well, and are all in good condition, in spite of all the difficulties.
