Grove Cottage - Sneak Peak!

Grove Cottage, based in the middle of Bishops Stortford provides many social activities for children and adults with special needs - click here to visit their website

It is a really wonderful organisation that we are absolutely delighted to be working with. We hope to create a beautiful and safe garden where the children and adults can relax, play and learn. It is a challenging project to say the least as all parts of the design need to meet the Ofsted regulations, but we are finding it so very rewarding. We're extremely excited to see the new garden built this year, but if you can't possibly wait till then see the outcome, we hope these before photos and design sneak peaks will keep you fulfilled!

Visual by John Dennis:

This small garden has to make every space work hard to maximise function for the Mencap users. Here this narrow alley is turned into a musical passage way accessible to all.

If you know of any other similar charities which could benefit from a new outdoor space for it's users, please do get in touch! We have found this project extremely fulfilling and would really love to continue to work with more charities in the future.

Harvest rainwater in style...

Well it wouldn't be Summer if we didn't see a downpour of rain every now and then now would it!? We can't complain, it means there's no need to get out those hosepipes and spend an hour of our days going round the garden (although actually we really enjoy it!!) But we hope you're making the most of this rainwater by recycling and saving for a dry day? Did you know the average house roof sheds a massive 45,000 litres of water each year!? This means 25% of the water we currently use could be harvested from our roofs!! The simplest way that we can all capture rainwater is to have diverters on your downpipes and feed into water butts. Thing is, your typical water butts picked up from local DIY stores are pretty ugly to say the least, almost all coming in that nasty green colour making it stick out in your garden like a sore thumb!! SO Aralia has found some lovely alternatives, so that you can help the earth, and still have a beautiful garden...

If you would like to order one of these fabulous water butts, or would simply like to know more, get in touch - info@aralia.org.uk / 01279 730040
