Do you fancy having a go at designing a garden? 🌱🌷🌿
.
Have you found you have appreciated your garden more than usual during Lockdown, found a new love of plants, or learnt new things about gardening? Do you have an artistic side just waiting for an opportunity to burst out? ✏
.
Parklea are holding a challenge this summer - giving you the chance to research, plan and design a 2m x 2m garden. The challenge is open to anyone- children and adults- but please include your age so that we can group entries into judging categories if neccessary. Our team at Parklea will choose a winner and we will build the winning garden in our grounds! Other than size, the only limit is your imagination! 💭
.
There are more details on our website www.parkleaassociation.org.uk and on our Facebook page.
Here you will find more detailed instructions along with hints & tips and some useful links.
.
Do take a look because it will help.
Once you have your idea you'll need to transfer your design to paper. It's easier if you keep it to scale but size down. E.g. A garden 2m wide could be 20cm wide on paper (then 1cm on paper = 10cm in the garden) We'll need a little bit of a description to explain what you have chosen and why. Maybe give your garden a name? Then it's up to you how you want to display it.
You could write a list of plants as a "key" down the side, you could have a go at a 3D sketch or cut pictures out of magazines like a mood board. We can't wait to see what you come up with... let your imagination BLOOM!! 🌸
.
POST OR HAND ENTRIES IN TO THE PARKLEA OFFICE BEFORE 4PM MONDAY 17TH AUGUST.

Doesn't the end of March seem a long time ago? As

Doesn't the end of March seem a long time ago? As we start to emerge from Lockdown Parklea staff have been reflecting on everything that has happened over the last few months - other than being the busiest period of plant sales we have experienced there has been a lot going on behind the scenes too!
There is a post with more details summarising our "Lockdown Scrapbook" over on our facebook page. (Too long for Instagram!) 😉
But the shortened version jumps to now, over 500 phone and video calls, 700 comfort boxes and 1000 meals later!
We are working towards clients being able to return on site in the not too distant future, as soon as things are safe and approved to do so. We are constantly reviewing government guidelines and have a raft of plans, ideas and checklists in place for when we can introduce clients back, along with some fun external activities to bridge the gap until that happens!

Parklea are very fortunate to have fantastic suppo

Parklea are very fortunate to have fantastic support from a partnership with some of our local Co-ops. Port Glasgow and Bridge of Weir in particular.
As food share partners we work together in the redistribution of surplus food by sharing it within the community, thereby helping those who need it as well as preventing perfectly good food going to landfill.
The staff at the Bridge of Weir branch have liased with their colleagues in Kilbarchan, Houston and Bishopton to donate money to Parklea from the Community Donation Fund. Yesterday we picked up the 'big cheque' for £1000! This enables us to buy extra refrigeration units allowing us to store more fresh food and prepared meals.
Huge thanks to David, Angela and Kate at Co-op Bridge of Weir for their support! 💕

We would like to say a MASSIVE, HUGE, ENORMOUS heartfelt thank you to every single one of our customers who has made a donation or bought plants from us this year! Your support has been phenomenal! 🌼🌺🌸
.
As you know, we are a small independent charity that is not for profit, so all income goes directly back into running the project. We always rely on the social enterprise of plant sales to provide crucial financial support that helps us to continue to provide our service to vulnerable members of our community. This year, while we have had to diversify and be creative in the way we could sell to the public, we have valued and appreciated your custom more than ever ❤
.
We sincerely hope that in turn you have managed to gain some enjoyment and therapeutic benefit from your plants and gardens during these weird old times! (Maybe we have even made new gardeners out of some of you and we will see you again next year!) We would love to hear your stories of how your gardens have helped during Lockdown 🌸🌺🌼
.
Thank you so much from all the team at Parklea! X.

We are still open Mon-Fri 10am-3pm and have lots of lovely plants available for sale
