Need Free Seeds

[Toms Lottie]

Hi All,

Mind - The Mental Health Hospice - Is Starting A Allotment Project And I Am A Volunteer Helping To Raise Money For The Project.

We Are In Desperate Need Of Seeds And We Are Wondering Wether You Good People Would Help.

If You Can Give Us Any Spare Seeds Send Me A PM With Your Address And How Many Packets Of Seeds You Are Sending And I Will Send You An SAE

Your Help Is Gratefully Appreciated

Thanks,
Tom

Hi and welcome to the vine Tom. Send me a PM with a few more details and I will see what spare seeds I can find. All for helping MIND as my mum was diagnosed schizophrenic a few years back and we are no longer in touch. Mental health is horrid.

Hi Tom,

I have a few packets of easy-grow veg and some flowers that are good to grow on a lottie as they attract beneficial insects. If you pm me your address I'll post them to you next week.

Sounds like a great project, i think that a lot of studies have shown that getting involved in gardening can make a huge difference to peoples' mental as well as physical health.

In the US they've coined the term 'nature deficit disorder' for people who could do with getting outside a bit more often!

I've not many veg seeds spare, but plenty of beautiful country garden type flower seeds - if you pm me your addy I'll send a selection off to you.

we are in the early stages of setting up an allotment project in West Norfolk. The aims of our project are to get people active and improve their fitness level. Getting our servidce users to try something new, to find themselves a new and rewarding interest, to provie "gainful occupation", and, obviously, to help improve their mental health and well being. We also promote social inclusion, trying to get our service users involved in their local community, raising awareness of mental health problems, and trying to reduce stigma, ignorance and prejudice. For some reason, mental health conditions are often still considered taboo, which is totally bizarre, considering that one in four of us will suffer from some kind of mental health poblem in our lives. We are actively trying to make a positive change in our community. Our local project is part of a much larger national movement called "Moving People". their website address is movingpeople.org.uk. The web address of our charity is mind.org.uk. If this is of inerest to you, please have a look at them

We are also desperately in need of seed donations, pots, trays etc, (even though we are actively recycling anything we can use to plant in!!!)

Also if anyone knows of any sheds or green houses or polytunnels in the area going for a reasonable price, these things would be much appreciated, as we currently have no shelter, and nowhere to make a cuppa!!!

Thanks,
Tom

P.S I Do Not Live In West Norfolk But I Am The Project Admin

If you care to PM me i have plenty of seeds to spare.
About flower pots and or containers. Ask anyone you know who lives near a cemetary to go where all the spent flowers and stuff are thrown ( we have several bunkers in ours for dumping stuff from the graves) There is always loads of pots and planters thrown away which you may find useful.

[Toms Lottie]

Tom
