Garden Tidy at Warneford Hospital
A repeat visit to the Highfield Unit garden
Location
Date and time
14:00 - 15:30Please note that this community mission has been cancelled.
MISSION CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESS - SORRY!
We've been asked if we can help give the garden of the young person’s mental health unit a good clear up ahead of the winter. Having visited at the start of October to plant bulbs and do some weeding, we're returning to get some of the brambles and shrubbery under control, and we will probably plant more bulbs too.
The Highfield Unit has a large garden but there is only one gardener for the whole of the Warneford Hospital site, so it is a struggle to keep it looking as good as it could.
It would be fantastic to improve the environment for young people struggling with their mental health - let's get to work!
Please bring gardening gloves. Other tools will be provided.
Meeting point: on the lawn outside the main entrance of the Warneford Hospital. We will walk to the ward together from there, collecting the tools along the way.
How are you getting there?

I've just had a message from the staff at the Warneford hospital letting me know that they have several people with high temperatures so they are stopping all visitors. Apologies for the short notice but we will have to cancel tomorrow's gardening mission.
Their message was:
"Unfortunately we have had a number of staff with high temperatures today . Therefore we are allowed no visitors to the ward. Am aware you would be in the garden but in light of these circumstances it is probably best to postpone I think
Sorry for any inconvenience ."
See you another time.
