Growing Together
Provides a safe green space for residents and staff can enjoy the nursing home garden. This project also aims to include secondary school aged children to volunteer with the residents of the nursing home. The nursing home has 50 beds, 7 of which are neuro-rehab beds. The nursing home is run by Homerton Health care NHS Foundation Trust.

We're back at Mary Seacole Nursing Home for some more digging out, gardening and possible painting!

This task involves clearing an area of the garden at the nursing home to make space for a new green area, creating a zone for harmony, de-stress and promoting wellbeing.

GoodGymmers have already cleared most of the weeds and ivy, but there are some big trees to remove and some huge planters to paint. Once the space is clear, the aim will be to build a shelter, plant hedge plants and lay turf.

Come along and get stuck in!

Entry will be via the rear of the nursing home, off Nutall Street and through the St Leonard's Hospital site, past the Lawson practice building. Meeting point: ///lows.putty.yarn

This is a gardening task so please bring gloves. Gardening tools will be provided.
