Luxury homebuilder Mulberry Homes has donated a range of planting materials to Houlton Community Gardens Society, helping the garden to flourish.

The Houlton Community Gardens Society was created as a space for members of the community to meet, form friendships and grow a variety of different flowers and fruits in a garden open to the entire community on the large-scale Houlton development being delivered by Urban&Civic.

Mulberry Homes recently donated top soil, compost, farmyard manure, bark chippings and Russian sage called Perovskia Blue Spire, helping the society bring the gardens into full bloom.

This is the second donation the homebuilder has made to Houlton Community Gardens Society, following an equipment donation that was made late last year.

Elly Hemus, Community Development Lead at Urban&Civic, said: “The Houlton Community Gardens is a much-loved space at the heart of our community. It continues to thrive thanks to the dedication of the Community Gardens Society and the generous support of partners like Mulberry Homes. This support doesn’t just benefit the society; it enhances the wellbeing and shared experience of everyone in Houlton.”

Sophie Leathley, Senior Brand and Marketing Manager at Mulberry Homes, said: “We are delighted to have purchased these gardening materials for the Houlton Community Gardens Society. This group is a wonderful way for those in the community to get to know each other and develop a shared passion for gardening, and we hope our donation is a great help.

“We’re looking forward to seeing the garden continue to thrive, and to further support the Houlton community.”

The donation comes as Mulberry Homes is providing a range of new homes at Houlton and as part of the homebuilder’s Community Chest initiative, in which charities and public organisations local to Mulberry Homes’ developments are invited to apply to receive a one-off donation of up to £1,000.
