The Chief Executive's PA, Janet, entered a design for a small show garden at the Malvern Spring Show in May. The design has been selected as 1 of 10 in the ‘Painting with Plants’ Gallery. The three best will receive a prize of £1,000 to be donated to a charity of the entrant’s choice. The planned Sensory Garden at Making Tracks would be the project supported. Some of our service users will be involved in growing the plants for the garden and donation sought from other potential sponsors. Even if we do not win one of the prizes, the show garden will be excellent publicity for the work done by Options for Life.
