🌻 Meet the newest addition to Flower Pod Southwell... The Scarecrow! 🌻
Made almost entirely from materials grown, harvested or repurposed at Flower Pod, this fantastic creation showcases the creativity and skills of the people we support.

🌿 The body was made from a willow bouquet
🥔 Hessian sacks were used for clothing
🌸 The skirt was created from beautiful flowers
🪵 A tree that needed removing was used to make the wooden base
☀️ The willow sun was woven from harvested willow

Over recent months, clients have been learning willow weaving techniques, making the sun and the scarecrow's body were a fantastic achievement and a wonderful example of skills development in action.

We were delighted to take our scarecrow to the Southwell Ploughing Match, where it was awarded second place! 🏆

The judges commented: "Beautiful arrangement of the flowers, lovely use of autumnal colours and a cheeky hint of blush!"

Well done everyone! 🌻🍂💛

🏛️ We visited The Workhouse & Infirmary in Southwell, learning about the lives of the people who once lived there and the challenges they faced. Walking through the house and gardens offered an opportunity to reflect on an important part of our local history and how society has changed over time.

The visit ended with coffee and cake, giving everyone the chance to share their thoughts and discuss what they had learned. Days like these encourage curiosity, understanding and meaningful engagement with the stories that have shaped our communities.
