PlantBox has recently been used as part of the Warwickshire Living Walls project, <\/span>a greening initiative to install 100 linear metres of living walls at hospitals and public access sites across Warwickshire. <\/span><\/p>\n

Forest of Hearts<\/a> was set up to create \u2018gardens for good\u2019 to improve wellbeing, boost biodiversity and enhance employability.\u00a0<\/span>Tom from Forest of Hearts told us more about the project:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe PlantBox living wall has been a lovely addition to the entrance of the car park at Stratford-Upon-Avon hospital, right next to the Garden of Wellbeing we created. People regularly stop to compliment our eye-catching, vibrant and ever-growing living wall when we are working on it.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe created and continue to maintain the living walls with help from our Green Therapy group, which is a horticultural therapy group that we run twice a week for people with learning difficulties and mental health issues, people who are socially isolated, and general volunteers who want to give back to the community. Local companies within the community have also helped us construct and plant up PlantBoxes ready to be installed.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

You can tell just by looking that the living walls have been well cared for and lovingly looked after. Meet the volunteers who have helped assemble, plant up, install, water and maintain the living walls at Stratford-Upon-Avon hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n
