Here at Yarnton Home & Garden we are always looking for ways to increase our green reach and do our best for the planet and the people who live on it. That’s why this year we have sponsored two charities very close to our hearts.
BRIDEWELL GARDENS
Bridewell Gardens is a mental health recovery service located a few miles from Yarnton in the Oxfordshire countryside. The charity’s team of trained social & therapeutic horticultural practitioners help those struggling with their mental health by harnessing the power of gardening and community. The charity’s 6-acre walled garden and organic vineyard creates a sanctuary for recovery and opportunities to learn new skills, build self-esteem and confidence whilst providing outdoor physical exercise in a peaceful setting.
Yarnton Home & Garden and Bridewell Gardens have joined together to share expertise, resources, and knowledge. We are keen to spread the word about Bridewell and the amazing work they do to ensure those in need can find and reach their services.
INTERNATIONAL TREE FOUNDATION
Did you know the UK has one of the lowest tree covers in Europe, at just 13%? This is one of the reasons the International Tree Foundation works tirelessly worldwide to ‘plant, protect and promote trees’. With a particular focus on the UK and Africa, the charity works to educate and inspire communities to understand the vital role indigenous forests play for the wildlife, biodiversity and the people who rely on them.
Founded in 1922, the Oxford-based charity’s work is vital and we are pleased to be supporting them in store with a dedicated information area you can visit to find out how to get involved.
