Neva’s fundraiser for Martineau Gardens

Neva Paringe is raising money for Martineau Gardens
Martineau Gardens is a beautiful therapeutic community garden and a charity, located two miles from Birmingham city centre. Martineau Gardens supports volunteers on the therapeutic horticulture programme to look after the 2.5 acre free-to-enter community garden, many of whom have mental health issues and learning disabilities. A team of volunteers welcome over 10,000 visitors each year who come to enjoy its peace and tranquillity and a further team helps out with special events and courses. Hundreds of school children visit the outdoor ‘classrooms’ to learn about the environment. The Gardens have been described by visitors as ‘an oasis of calm in the bustling city’ and as ‘Birmingham’s hidden gem’.

Story

Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page to support Martineau Gardens, a truly special green oasis just a stone's throw from Birmingham city centre. This beautiful sanctuary offers a peaceful escape where people of all ages can connect with nature and discover the wonders of plants. From the tranquil woodland and sparkling ponds to the vibrant wildflower meadow and imaginative shipwreck play area, there is so much to explore and enjoy.

Martineau Gardens plays a vital role in our community by providing therapeutic gardening opportunities for schoolchildren, families, and adults with additional support needs. These activities not only nurture the garden but also promote mental well-being, offering calm, purpose, and joy to those involved. Having personally experienced the warmth of the volunteers and the magic of this place, I am inspired to give back by helping with watering duties—dressed in my wellies and gardening gear—to ensure these beautiful plants continue to thrive.

We need your help to keep this enchanting garden flourishing. My fundraising target is £500, which will directly support Martineau Gardens’ ongoing work in creating an inclusive space that benefits both people and wildlife. Donating through JustGiving is simple, secure, and efficient—your generosity will go straight to the charity without delay or extra cost.

Please join me in supporting Martineau Gardens today. Together we can nurture this green haven for future generations to enjoy its calming beauty and life-changing impact.
