Greenhouses are go at the Wokingham Acorn Community Centre!
The garden is growing at the Wokingham Acorn Community Centre – and gardeners with learning disabilities who have been working hard on their horticultural skills are about to get a blooming big boost with the opening of new greenhouses.
Horticultural therapy charity Growing Places, which manages the gardens at the Acorn Community Centre in Woosehill, Wokingham, has been fundraising hard for new greenhouses so that they can expand their activities for learning disabled gardeners. And on June 25 their efforts will finally bear fruit when two greenhouses will be officially opened by Mark Foss, head of engineering at Boehringer Ingelheim, a local pharmaceutical company which sponsored the installation of the greenhouses. Wokingham Borough Council Mayor Cllr Pauline Helliar-Symons will also be attending.
Growing Places teaches horticultural skills such as seed sowing, potting on and creative floral crafts, as well as offering participating gardeners opportunities to enter competitions and participate in plant sales, which offers valuable social and money-handling skills.
