PLANTING POSITIVITY IN THE COMMUNITY

We were delighted to help out with the new sensory garden at Bedwellty House in Tredegar, Wales, by planting some Nye Bevan (Auspital) English Shrub Roses at the home of Aneurin Bevan’s political career.

We attended the 30th anniversary of Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity to present a cheque for £100,000 raised from sales of the Roald Dahl (Ausowlish) rose. This donation has helped to provide funding for a nursing post for a year and around 65 life changing grants. Joined by the Mayor of Bridgnorth, we were delighted to be asked to plant a variety of climbing roses to dress the newly installed pergolas within Castle Park, local to our nursery.

It was a pleasure to donate The Generous Gardener (Ausdrawn) English Climbing Rose to 21 individual hospice gardens, which open for the National Garden Scheme. The roses were planted as part of the celebrations to mark 25 years of partnership between Hospice UK and the National Garden Scheme, including Compton Care in Wolverhampton (pictured left).
