GREEN-FINGERED growers at Dawlish Gardens Trust are preparing to open to the public for the summer season.

The plant shop officially opens on Monday March 17.

Organisers are hoping visitors will go along to explore the ‘beautiful’ collection of plants, along with handcrafted woodwork including planters, bird boxes, hedgehog boxes, bee boxes, and more.

A spokesman said: ‘Come say hi, browse our creations, and bring a little piece of nature home with you.

‘Your continued support means the world to us all here at DGT.’

The charity, which provides vocational training for adults with additional needs, opens annually to the public to buy plants.

The trust’s Marysfield Nursery in Port Road opens every day between 10am and 2pm.

The charity provides opportunities for adults to learn skills in horticulture, catering, animal care as well as

social skills and provides work experience for help into employment.
