A charity nursery has been chosen as a successful community garden project.
The Amazing Rural Kids in Penzance was selected for the Dobbies Community Gardens initiative by the Lelant Dobbies store and will receive support to develop its outdoor learning space.
Kelly Edwards, general manager at Dobbies’ Lelant store, said: “Thank you to everyone who applied to Dobbies Community Gardens this year.
“We received a fantastic selection of entries from inspiring groups across Lelant, all with a shared passion for bringing their garden projects to life.
“Selecting the successful project has been incredibly difficult, but we’re delighted to be supporting The Amazing Rural Kids this year.
“Through this initiative, we’re helping communities to get growing while creating and enhancing green spaces for local people to enjoy.”
The charity nursery focuses on outdoor learning and is developing an outdoor area into a rich, multi-sensory environment where children can explore, learn and grow through hands-on experiences.
Dobbies will donate plants, seeds, soil, planters, and tools, along with volunteer hours, to help bring the project to life.
The Community Gardens initiative supports 53 garden projects across the UK, with each Dobbies store selecting a local cause from hundreds of applications.
