| Our Wish | Garden Plants – We’re looking for a variety of plants for the raised beds in our community facility garden. This space means a lot to the people who use it — it’s a peaceful, relaxing place where community members can sit, enjoy some nature, and take a moment of solace, whether they’re attending groups or our lunch clubs. To keep the garden looking welcoming, we’re hoping for a donation of plants or a contribution towards buying plants, so our volunteers can get started on the seasonal planting. This will help us make sure the garden continues to be a calming, enjoyable place for everyone who visits. Thank you for considering supporting this space that brings so much comfort to our community. |
