This year, in particular, mental health is at the forefront of many of our minds.

Hosted by the @mentalhealthfoundation, Mental Health Awareness Week focuses on connecting with nature. It has been proven that interacting with nature around us can ease stress and increase creativity, empathy, and a sense of wonder.

Houseplant of the Week

Mimosa pudica (Sensitive plant) are well known for their sensitive feathery fronds that close when touched. These reopen after half an hour and close naturally in the evening. Place in a bright position in a room with high humidity.

Be careful, touching too often can cause the plant to weaken. If you have pets or children who put things in their mouths, please be aware that the seed pods are slightly toxic.

Our Coffee Shop & Restaurant needs your help!

Do you know a Chef who might like to work for an award-winning family business, with no evening hours? You could receive £100 if you recommend them*.

We serve high-quality food and can’t wait to welcome our customers back to dine with us. We need a Sous Chef to work at both Perrywood Tiptree and Perrywood Sudbury. It’s tough to recruit chefs at the moment. So, we are asking our team, customers and suppliers to recommend us as an employer to their friends and family. Do you know a chef? They might not even be job hunting but could benefit from a new job where there are no evening hours. Please tag them in this post or send them a message.

We would also be open to hiring 2-3 people to cover the role between them – it could be split into weekend chef and one or two pastry chefs for example. So we are open to hearing from all chefs who would be interested in working for us, in both our locations or just one.

*If we hire someone who stays with us for more than six months and they can show proof that you recommended them before we heard about them via other channels, you will receive £100 (cash or Perrywood voucher).

This week is Hedgehog Awareness Week (2nd -8th May) organised by the British Hedgehog Preservation Society This year the charity is asking people to create their very own hedgehog haven, we can make a hedgehogs life much easier with very little effort.

There are many things we can all do to help, five examples are :

- Make sure hedgehogs can access your garden with a ‘Hedgehog Highway’ by creating a 13cm square gap in the bottom of your garden fence
- Create a log pile that will offer shelter and natural food.
- Check areas carefully before mowing or strimming.
- Check compost heaps carefully before digging the fork in, and bonfires before lighting.
This year the charity is asking people to create their very own hedgehog haven, we can make a hedgehog's life so much easier with very little effort!

We love encouraging people to get growing and so do the local charities and community groups that we are supporting this year. They see first-hand how individuals can benefit hugely from being outdoors and working together on gardening projects. Recently our colleagues at Abberton Rural Training and Together We Grow shared their thoughts on gardening. You can also see their wonderful photographs displayed around the Garden Centre.
