Dragons' Den company launches Raised Bed Rescue campaign
WoodBlocX, the company that turned the humble raised bed into a garden must-have after appearing on Dragons' Den, is launching a nationwide campaign to help rejuvenate public gardens across the UK.
WoodBlocX is pledging up to £5,000 worth of its products as part of the Raised Bed Rescue campaign, which aims to help community and public gardens in need of some TLC.
"We came up with the idea after being approached by Edinburgh Botanical Garden, which hosts an Edible Gardening Project run by a team of volunteers," said WoodBlocX's Henry Blake.
"The group is funded purely by donations and the team contacted us about supplying some raised beds.
"This request made us think about all of the gardens and gardening projects that are run by passionate people, and which may not have the funds available to revamp and restore areas.
"We have decided to put an annual budget aside for gardens and gardening groups to apply for. Maybe their current raised beds have fallen into disrepair or a group of people has set aside within the local community to set up a gardening group. Whatever the circumstances, we want to hear about it."
Gardens of any size can be entered into the competition as long as they are open to and used by the public. Those wishing to enter can do so via www.woodblocx.com/raisedbedrescue and fill in the entry form. The competition is open until May 31.
WoodBlocX is backed by Dargons' Den investor Peter Jones.
