We’re excited to announce a collaboration with Andrea Connor, a passionate local gardener, to refresh our city centre planters.
As a seasoned gardener with a deep love for nature, Andrea is bringing her vibrant vision and expert knowledge to help us deliver our commitment to making our city centre a more vibrant and enjoyable place to be.
Andrea’s journey into gardening is truly inspiring. After overcoming personal struggles, including mental health challenges, she found solace and strength in gardening. From transforming her own garden into a magical night garden to creating wellbeing gardens in Dogsthorpe and Stamford, Andrea’s expertise and passion are now set to bring new life to our city centre planters. Her work encourages a deeper connection with nature, which she believes can boost wellbeing and promote a sense of calm.
Andrea’s goal is to bring nature into urban spaces, creating pockets of beauty that everyone can enjoy.
Whether you’re passing by or taking a moment to pause and admire, we hope the newly refreshed planters bring a little bit of magic to your day.
