Charlotte was a client at Reach Newark, but has really taken to gardening. She enjoys it so much that she now attends sessions at Flower Pod Newark three days a week. Charlotte really likes to be  useful, so she volunteers by tidying up and watering between the morning and  afternoon sessions. She has learnt a lot about gardening, including the names of  plants, and is really interested in the butterflies that visit the garden.

“I love meeting my friends and making new ones at Flower Pod Newark. I enjoy  working in the garden and learning new things about growing vegetables and flowers.  I also like the craft sessions and using things in the garden to make pretty things like bouquets and buttonholes.” - Charlotte
