The GSPCA would like to say a huge thank you to the wonderful team at Grow that have been helping the GSPCA look lovely and a rich place for pollinating plants for our visiting bees.

Grow over the last month have been helping with many of the GSPCA hanging baskets and many of our window boxes.

Grow Ltd provide training and sheltered work for people with a learning disability in horticulture. The selling of their produce and the garden maintenance team provide the opportunity for the interaction between their sponsored attendees and the general public.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “It is amazing as a community how many groups help one another and we want to extend a huge thank you to Grow for their amazing help with their fantastic plants and time at the GSPCA.”

“Grow Ltd have really helped with our baskets and window boxes which all look amazing.”

“The grounds are helped by many groups at the GSPCA from Grow to the Pollinator Project, RSPB, Work to Benefit team, St Andrews Floral Group and so many more.”

“The Guernsey Beekeepers have a training apiary on site at the GSPCA so it is great that we can all work together to help the bees whether they are wild or for honey.”
