Green Shoots stand at Dundee Botanic Gardens
Green Shoots, Helm's horticulture enterprise is delighted to have linked up with the Garden Centre based at the Dundee Botanic Gardens to offer a new stand of plants grown and raised in Dundee by our interested green-fingered learners. The plants are mainly herbaceous including unusual varieties like Verbena bonnariasis and Gaura The Bride and a range of interesting grasses. Prices range from £2.20 for a small plant. The stand was also the work of our learners, designed and constructed using just hand tools and lots of hard work.
Beauty for All finishes first successful year
Helm's mobile beauty service has travelled the length and breadth of Tayside giving its learners the chance of testing out their beauty therapy skills on elderly residents of residential and sheltered Servite and Bield homes. The learners have been offering hand massages and manicures as wells as shoulder and neck massges. The young people have enjoyed meeting and having a great laugh with the residents and are looking forward to returning in the Autumn to the homes schemes again.
Helm and the St Andrew's Family Support Project shared day of celebration with the young parents who attend both charities' services.Over 20 parents received certificates that ranged from Red Cross to Food Hygiene and being 'best baker'. The girls performed a healthy dance and there was information on hand about the different projects for visiting health professionals.
