Due to COVID-19 our usual garden party had to be cancelled. This hasnt stopped us from finding new and innovative ways to support members.This year Nicola has kindly been taking the garden party to our members in the form of treat boxes. Please donate and support more of our #RandomActsOfConcern.

Nicola has baked two mini cakes (usually chocolate and lemon) per box and beautifully presented these for our members alongside freshly laid eggs from her chickens, freshly harvested fruit and/or veg from the garden, together with bunches of beautiful flowers. The produce has varied by week depending on what is available in the garden.

She provides a lovely afternoon tea with freshly made sandwiches, freshly baked sweet treats and bottomless tea. Guests have then always been given a homemade gift and a posy of flowers from the garden to take home with them.

Members and volunteers names have been randomly picked over the weeks. Nicola has thoroughly enjoyed delivering to our members who have been delighted, and in some cases, overwhelmed by such beautiful gifts. Our members have also benefitted from additional social (socially distanced!) contact and enjoyed a chat on their doorsteps. Hopefully this wonderful gesture has helped to brighten our members day, alleviate some of the loneliness, and rekindle memories of the lovely garden parties they have attended in Nicolas garden.
