The article discusses the transformation of Michelle's garden as it prepares for its opening in the National Garden Scheme. A focal point is 'The Growing Garden,' a project where home-schooled children with special needs can learn about gardening. Paula Harvey, a teacher, leads this initiative, providing therapeutic outdoor activities. During the visit, the garden's vibrant flower beds and the importance of community and inclusivity exemplified by the children’s involvement in gardening are highlighted. The event promises not only beauty but also a sense of joy with music and refreshments for attendees.
"The Growing Garden is set up for children with special needs...a plot and an indoor space to learn about gardening."
"Michelle has been busy sowing, pricking out, transplanting...there will also be cake, because although this is her first opening for the NGS, she is aware of the centrality of the teas."
