The transformation began on a Monday morning and finished on Tuesday evening with a ‘wow’ factor, with the help of funding from M&S we were able to buy new equipment, paint, plants and other items needed to make the garden beautiful.

In total 50,000 M&S colleagues supported over 500 community projects accross the UK and everyone at the Community Rescue Service were delighted to be part of this. The gardners cut grass, trimmed hedges, planted flowers, painted fences and tables and helped clean and tidy around the house and allotments.
