2016 SARH Garden Competition
Every year, dozens of our customers open up their gardens to judges as part of the SARH Garden Competition.
The competition has become one of the highlights of the summer with dozens of SARH Customers opening up their gardens to our team of judges. 2015 saw top-class entries across the categories, which include window boxes, communal gardens, allotments, and more traditional front and back gardens.
Applications are now being invited for this summer’s competition, which is open to all SARH Customers in Stafford and the surrounding areas.

Reaping the Rewards
The growing season is well upon us and the Growing Health
plot holders are beginning to reap the rewards of their new allotments!
After all the hard work that was put into developing the
allotments during 2015/16, over 20 families and community groups are now seeing
the fruits of their labour! Produce from beetroot to lettuce and carrots to
peas are being grown by people of all ages, from toddler to retirement age.
Communities have also been created, whether it’s plot holders helping each
other out or just sitting together relaxing and enjoying their surrounding
environment. Lasting relationships have been formed as part of the project, as
well and giving people to eat healthier and spend time outdoors!
Above are before and after photo of the new Priory Road Community Allotments
in Stone!!
So What?
The Growing Health Project has given local residents the
opportunity to spend time outdoors, increase levels of physical activity,
develop their knowledge and learn new skills. The site has provided
opportunities for people of all ages and increase community cohesion!
More for your Money:
Allotment sites provide local communities with a cheap,
sustainable source of fruit and vegetables, therefore leading to healthier
diets and improved quality of life.
Tool Bank
June and July are great months for the garden but
the weather conditions also mean the grass and weeds are growing at speed
too. In order to keep on top of jobs try
to regularly cut the lawn and weed so it doesn’t turn into a difficult
task. All the tools you need to tend to
your garden can be hired from the Tool Bank located on Highfields. Just remember to bring two forms of ID if you
are not already a member. All equipment
is just £1 to hire.
Top ten jobs for the garden in June and July
- Be water-wise, especially in drought-affected areas
- Pinch out side shoots on tomatoes
- Harvest lettuce, radish, other salads and early potatoes
- Position summer hanging baskets and containers outside
- Mow lawns at least once a week
- Plant out summer bedding
- Stake tall or floppy plants
- Prune many spring-flowering shrubs
- Shade greenhouses to keep them cool and prevent scorch
So What?
Garden equipment can be very expensive to purchase and may not be a priority to purchase when starting a tenancy. Tool bank provides a service to customers to give access to affordable tool hire to maintain outside spaces
