Service Project - Hospital Gardens - Northampton General
Some years ago Moya McVicar arranged for us to become involved with the gardens at the local hospital where she has been a very active patient advocate and part of the wider management team.
We started by clearing up the Stroke Unit Garden, adding new plants and keeping it tidy so that it was returned to an uncluttered pleasant area for the patients and staff of that unit to use.
We then found another neglected garden area to adopt. This is adjacent to Spencer Ward and is available to all hospital patients and their visitors.
No prior gardening knowledge is required for volunteers as we have a small green-fingered group who can direct the less experienced worker bees..but all help is greatly appreciated.
We meet on the 1st Saturday in the month at approximately 9.30. In the summer when the evenings are light, we meet in the evening once a month. Bring your gloves, and a few garden tools and refuse bags if you have them.

The middle picture shows just how much back-work we put into our projects.
