A CAMPAIGN aimed at getting the community growing is coming out of winter hibernation now that spring is here.
Garden centre Dobbies is inviting groups to submit an application for its Helping Your Community Grow scheme, which shares products, support and advice with those wanted to care for and protect their green spaces.
Example schemes include a school allotment project, a community garden, or a charity looking to create a sensory garden. The firm says it wants to have a positive impact on communities through its love of gardening.
Dobbies’ peat-free compost, recycled and recyclable pots, UK-sourced plants, and safer pest control products are among the many products the garden centre will donate.
Graeme Jenkins, CEO of Dobbies, said: “Community is at the heart of what we do at Dobbies and we’re proud to bring back Helping Your Community Grow for the 13th year.
“Riding for the Disabled Association in Glasgow is just one of the many projects we supported in 2022, and highlights the diversity of the projects we aim to collaborate with. Thank you and well done to the Milngavie team for their excellent work on this project.
“As we’re committed to environmentally-friendly practices, we’re especially interested in hearing from projects in Berkshire with sustainability at their core.
“As always, our teams will share their expertise in products and practices to ensure an eco-friendly approach.”
The scheme operates from its Spencers Wood and Hare Hatch stores.
