Suttons Seeds Support Garden Re-Leaf Day 2012
The Suttons Seeds team are very excited about their plans to support the first Garden Re-Leaf Day this year!
Garden Re-Leaf Day, which is being held on 13th March, is a new initiative that will involve many of the Gardening Industry's suppliers and retailers. Events will be held right across the country to raise money for our industry's charity, The Greenfingers Appeal, which builds gardens in children´s hospices (33 built to date) and also to help the community in general.
Suttons Seeds will be providing a groundforce-style makeover team that will be transforming an uninspiring outside area for Mayfield School in Torquay, into a sensational Sensory Garden.

Mayfield is a special needs school that caters for children with severe, profound and multiple learning difficulties. We will be ensuring that all five senses will be tantilised by planting varieties such as long lavender for the children to walk through, curry plants to smell and microgreens to taste. As some childen using the garden are wheel-chair bound we will also be utilising raised beds and Vegtrugs that are the correct height for every one of the children to sow veg and maintain them easily.
There will also be beautiful flowers and tasty fruit planted as well as gourds which can be used later to make instruments and bowls. The Suttons team is very proud to support this very worthwhile cause!
Wow! What a fabulous day we had!!

Comment from Mayfield School
“The reaction from the children is one of total wonderment. I don’t think that the school will ever be able to thank you enough for what you have done. We have the most beautiful and special children here at Mayfield and now they have the most beautiful and special garden for them to learn, relax and be part of.”
