GREEN-fingered residents in Rugby are blooming happy after receiving a donation to keep their gardening equipment safe.
Houlton Gardening Society has been given a storage cabinet and padlock – to ensure all gardening equipment is kept safe throughout the year – by housebuilder Mulberry Homes.
The Houlton Community Gardens were created in the under-construction neighbourhood as a space for the society to meet and grow flowers, fruits and vegetables, while also serving as a space for members of the community to meet and get to know one another.
Sonia Nakra-Norman, Communications and Partnerships Manager at Houlton’s master developer Urban and Civic, said: “Houlton Community Gardens Society has risen from strength to strength in the past year, being crowned as runners up in The Developer Pineapple awards only a few months ago.
“This work isn’t possible without their dedication and support from those such as Mulberry.”
Sophie Leathley, Senior Brand and Marketing Manager at Mulberry Homes, said: “We hope that our donation will help the gardens continue to flourish over the next year, and we are excited to see the community grow.”
