The Butterfly garden is an educational, therapeutic and recreational scheme, based initially on gardening, but now offering so much more. It is a project for people of all ages dealing with disablement of any kind. It caters for those looking to escape the world, those looking to re-enter it and some, who are still just looking. Its doors are open to anyone without obligation.

Welcome to Eden
I am increasingly of the opinion that, given the choice most people want to help one another and this week we have witnessed a massive outpouring of support and kindness.
Over the last few days, we have had a team on site from Eden Greenhouses (who are based in Cheltenham). The company,hearing of our work have donated and erected a brand new 20 foot x 10 foot aluminium greenhouse. The students have given the crew no peace, being both interested and excited by the activity. The girls from Eden in particular attracted great attention. It was a delightful encounter socially and will be of enormous benefit to us. It didn't finish there either,our next visitor,Colin Prottey from Cleeve Vale Rotary came in with a donation to cover the cost of fitting the new greenhouse with staging,benching and a floor.
By tea time the fabricators were in measuring the bench spaces.
An enormous thank you to Eden, to Cleeve Vale Rotary and to all who have helped make the week so special.
