A greenhouse to extend the growing season for King’s Lynn’s Lianne. The second project to be funded from the Old School Garden opening last July.
Lianne sowed her first seeds early this summer when she registered with one of Norfolk’s Master Gardeners, Lally Lee. She started with a garden overgrown with brambles and weeds and now is enjoying harvests of onions, salads, beans and various herbs. She’s simply hooked on growing.
Lianne is on a very low income and being able to grow her own is helping to supplement her diet with fresh, organic vegetables and herbs. Her mentor, Lally wanted to provide Lianne with the tools to continue to grow something throughout the winter and get an early start next year with protected seed sowing.
Lally was awarded funds to purchase a mini-greenhouse and some seeds to get Lianne off to a flying start when the growing season takes off again in early Spring. Lianne was delighted:
“A greenhouse is something that I have always wanted to use. To be presented with one makes me happy and proud. I am very grateful for the support, help and kindness of the Garden Organic charity. My sister, Linzi, and I are really looking forward to getting a head start on our vegetables and flowers next spring. I would like to express my gratitude to Master Gardener, Nigel Boldero, for sharing the proceeds of his open garden day this summer, which has enabled this donation“.
