A little glimpse into our gardens at HMP Highpoint Prison at Stradishall, near Haverhill, Suffolk. They looked so stunning when we were there last week! The chair was made by one of the guys and Willow Geoff. Very comfortable. Great work!
Greener Growth, community group organised a garden fair at Howard Primary School with plants grown by prisoners from Highpoint Prison.
The garden fair was organised to raise money to create a shaded area for the early years outdoor space at the school.
Jo Metcalfe, founder of Greener Growth, said: “I was really impressed with the children.”
The fair raised around £180 by selling plants that the prisoners from Highpoint had planted with the resources provided by Greener Growth.
Ms Metcalfe said: “Quite a few people in prison aren’t academic but they’re good with their hands, this kind of work allows them to get into a landscape profession when they leave.”
