MP inspects MIND's new cottage garden in Dartford  Dr Stoate and workers at MIND
The cottage garden, which has a plant and flower garden and a water feature, has been created from scratch by a team of MIND service users and volunteers.
Dr Stoate said; “The MIND team have done a great job with this garden. They’ve transformed a neglected and uninviting piece of land into a very attractive and pleasant cottage garden, that will I’m sure give many people a great deal of pleasure for years to come.”
