This will be a permanent display, so you’ll be able to visit your work of art at any time. No experience is necessary and all materials will be provided.

Stoke Mandeville Stadium, Guttmann Road, Aylesbury

Planting up borders and oak barrels to make a nicer environment for wheelchair users and their families to sit and chat at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium. Many children and adult wheelchair users visit the stadium to partake in sport. The seating area was broken and unusable. A new floor has been laid, and we have ordered oak barrels to spread around the seating area, which will be filled with sensory hardy plants. There is also a grass border which will be dug up, and lavender plants put in. Some hanging baskets may also be put up, but only if watering daily is a possibility. We hope to acquire some extra seating.
