Edith's story

Link Friend Edith lives alone and can feel very lonely at times. She joined the Link to Nature project last year and this year she grew a sunflower that reached 5ft6 and she also received a tomato plant in the early summer.

Edith said she was blown away by how productive the plant was and counted over 120 fruit that she picked over the season! Edith is visited by volunteer Joni and she said that having visitors has revived her interest in gardening – she has put in a variety of bedding plants and the garden looks lovely.

Volunteer Joni said, “It’s really lovely to see how engaged she is with her garden this year. I think the last couple of years she hasn’t really bothered, so nice to see that the Link to Nature has inspired her.”
