Gardeners of all abilities can get creative while supporting dementia research at a hands-on planting event.
Dobbies Garden Centre in Cadnam will host a hanging basket workshop on Saturday, May 9 and Saturday, May 16, with 10 per cent of ticket sales donated to Alzheimer’s Research UK through the garden centre’s charity partnership.
Nigel Lawton, plant buyer at Dobbies, said: “Gardening is a great way to look after our brains and stay active.
“Our hanging basket workshop at the Cadnam store will be a great opportunity to relax and learn while enjoying a beginner-friendly guided planting experience.”
