Farplants, Hill and Newey donate plants for NHS Nightingale at ExCel

Farplants along with two other West Sussex growers, Hills and Newey donated plants last week for an initiative run by Richard Sabin of Biotecture to plant out the temporary Covid-19 Nightingale Hospital at ExCel with Plant Boxes around the NHS nurses and other hospital workers areas.

 

Brett Avery, Managing Director of Farplants said: "The installation occurred last Thursday and has bought some joy and colour to what is a pretty dire environment for these front line people to be working in, as I’m sure you can imagine. Initial feedback is that this has gone down very well and other hospitals have expressed interest in doing something similar.

 

"At Farplants we were so pleased to be involved in this project and be able to ‘give something back’ to these incredible people doing such an amazing job on the front line – hopefully being surrounded by beautiful plants and fragrances can provide some joy and peace in these challenging circumstances."
