🎉Happy (official) 5th birthday to us!🎉
5 years ago today we incorporated as a non profit Community Interest Company and officially set off on our mission to improve the state of dementia care in Sheffield. Some of you might remember our very first Instagram posts waaaay back in June of 2019, when we set about digging up a mates back garden to grow our first flowers 😂. It's amazing to look back and see how far we've come since then! We battled through covid, faced major winter storms, and had numerous last minute let downs when trying to find a bigger space. But here we are, with a flower farm, a gorgeous little shop, and a thriving dementia support programme. We need to say a big thank you to everyone that's supported us so far!
🌱
Our goal has always been to use Social and Therapeutic Horticulture to improve the mental and physical health of people who have young onset dementia, and we see the impact of that at our current Gather & Grow sessions. But, we've got big ambitions and know we can do more. We've been quietly working on something pretty special and we can't wait to share the next stage of our development plans with you!

Again, a massive thanks to everyone that's supported our work by buying flowers, signing up to our farm shares, or by sharing our posts. We wouldn't be here without you! Now, where's that cake?
