GREEN FINGERS WANTED BY SOFA SURFERS

We are being urged to adopt a garden, on the Garden Isle.

A scheme has been launched by the environmental organisation The Footprint Trust. A householder with a garden they can no longer look after can hand over the rake to a gardener looking for a free allotment. Organisers say it could bring 3000 uncared for Island gardens back to their blooming best. If you’re interested, call the Footprint Trust on 01983 822282, or e-mail info@footprint-trust.co.uk
