ActivLives launches online plant and produce sales!

ActivLives launches online plant and produce sales!

Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers at ActivGardens have been busy – and safely – tending plants and vegetables to keep you healthy and in good spirits during these difficult times.

While our community gardens are closed to the public, you can visit our website www.activlives.org.uk/activgardens/online and browse our online catalogue before downloading an order form to send with your choices. We will then be in touch to arrange delivery.

  • Details of vegetable boxes will follow.

 

In buying from us, you are supporting our charity, which helps local people build stronger, healthier communities and enables people of all ages and abilities to live full and active lives.

  • For more information on our projects and activities, and what we are doing to keep our members connected during lockdown, please visit our website activlives.org.uk

 

We do our bit for the environment too – growing varieties which are bee and butterfly-friendly to attract pollinators to your garden, and using peat-free compost. You can return your pots, trays and labels to us to use again to cut down plastic wastage (we only accept our pots, so please don’t return any others as it becomes a waste issue for us).

All our plants are rown at ActivGardens – Chantry Walled Garden, in Chantry Park and the People’s Community Garden, on Maidenhall Allotments – as part of projects to nurture skills and build confidence. Please do come and visit when we are able to re-open.

For more information, please contact Fundraising and Development Manager Susannah Robirosa 07530 407302 or email susannah@activlives.org.uk.
