Marion: Gardening and giving back

Meet Marion, a kitchen garden volunteer at Minstead Lodge who loves gardening and supporting others. She enjoys the sessions, the laughs, and always leaves with a smile.

Marion says, ‘I have had the privilege to be a volunteer at Minstead Lodge for over two years now. Gardening is one of my hobbies and, together with a background in Special Needs Education, the opportunity to combine volunteering in the lovely Victorian kitchen garden with the people we support has been great. I always leave with a smile on my face!

I really enjoy my time spent helping with the sessions planned by instructors Ken, John and Chris and we all have a have a lots of laughs together. Even the British weather doesn’t put us off!’
