Plant growing and buying costs was also supported by these donations. e show garden aimed to help change perceptions in society towards people with learning disabilities. Many still feel socially le out and face stigma and discrimination in their everyday lives (Scior & Werner, 2015). Gardening can play a role in giving people purpose in their life and a chance to show what they can achieve. e garden was inspired by a small waterfall area next to Furzey’s popular lake area and features plants for which the woodland garden is renowned for such as an acer Palmatum, hosta’s and salvia’s. Local artist Shaun Stevens created an artist’s impression of the garden, which is named ‘Re ective waters of inclusivity’. Special personal touches from the Minstead Trust community were added, including pebbles made from reclaimed clay dug out from beneath a fallen oak tree on Minstead Trusts’ grounds. ese pebbles were not just decorative; they carried the initials of the people supported by Minstead Trust, as well as sta and volunteers. Additionally, bringing character to the garden were two fairy doors, some felt butter ies and frogs made by people with learning disabilities. Supported gardener Simon said: “I told people about the plants. I love a garden, I think the garden is pretty.” Supported gardener Rhianne said: “I enjoyed telling everyone about the garden and the plants from Furzey. Seeing what people think of it and telling people what we do and what we like doing. I think that the garden is beautiful.” John Davies, Minstead Trust senior instructor, said: Local Gardeners with Learning Disabilities Celebrate Triumph at World’s Largest Garden Festival on, a chance for them to show what they can do if given opportunities that are usually not available to them. Many of them have been through really hard times in their lives and they have loved standing at the show and feeling really proud of what they have achieved. I hope people will continue to support us so that we can change some minds around what people with learning disabilities can do if given a chance.” Find out more about the garden at www. minsteadtrust.org.uk/ hamptongarden “This was a really exciting challenge the guys took Continued from front page Fairy Door made from Cedar
