Hi All, I'm hoping to start a gardening group for our Social Support members. I am today chasing some government guidelines as I am lost in searching the internet for what I require. We plan to have a vegetable garden but my question is, is our Cook then able to use the produce to feed members as its not a registered supplier. If not are the members able to benefit by taking this produce home . Does any body know the do's and don'ts and where I can find this information for my report. Thank you, And congratulations to all for your input on an excellent helpful website. Annmaree
I am overwhelmed with the activities on this site, truly amazing. This website has been tremendously amazing and helpful for all my residents on the dementia unit. I have worked in the field of dementia and Alzheimer’s in a long term care home for 30 years. This website is a blessing from above. You are all amazing for the future of care givers and residents.

I think your best option is to contact a look of garden club in your area for this information
I am not from your area so I really don’t know what to tell you about your areas requirements
I know that we could not use the vegetables that the residents grew
You may want to think about growing alternative plants
