Working with RePollinate to create our ‘Beds for Bees’ project was fantastic! They adapted the project based on the needs and preferences of the group, creating a sensory rich display for our patients with learning disabilities. The project created some great opportunities for the group to learn about pollinator friendly plants, engage in physical exercise, and participate in a social group. The patients were fully engaged throughout the process and continue to care for the bed each week, giving them a connection and engagement with surroundings.
Fortune Works as a group have loved the RePollinate bed, it has brought a real finishing touch to our pollinator corridor within FW and we love the fact they have used lots of native plants in the design. The whole process was excellent from delivery to plans attached for recommendations. Our team really enjoyed planting it up and the holistic planning of the shape of the bed. We couldn’t recommend RePollinate enough. It’s a great project doing great things.
This garden has already achieved many of the things that we hoped it would do. We have more contact with neighbours, some of whom have become really involved. We have a scouting group involved and contact with the school to start doing things in the garden. A group of young children and their carers use the space to share stories and songs and get their hands dirty. We need to renew the relationship with the nursing home as one of our volunteers has taken more of a back seat in the project. The project has also brought hope to the church community.
We were absolutely delighted with the beds designed by RePollinate for the Beds for Bees scheme. Despite having an enthusiastic group of volunteers, we had struggled to maintain our old, badly designed flowerbeds. When we had designed them, we simply had not understood enough about what we were the doing. In contrast, the new flowerbeds are so well designed that we see our efforts really pay off. They got established quickly, look fantastic and have been easy to maintain. And we are not the only ones who love them: the flowers are always covered in bees, butterflies, moths and hoverflies! We are so grateful to RePollinate. If you don’t believe us, come to Dunmore and check out our beautiful blooms!
Nick contracted wonderful, hard working people to level all the ground space and provide a wheelchair accessible surface, in addition to seating and raised beds and planters for the area, with full involvement and consultation with ourselves at every stage, to ensure everything met the needs of the people who would benefit.
This whole initiative has really encouraged and motivated our service users, staff and volunteers to be open and excited about expanding our services to include enjoying the outdoors, be involved in planting and growing and planning how best to use the produce in the future, so massive personal and organisational benefits in every way, for general health, wellbeing and mental stimulation and will be a valuable asset to us all for many years to come.
