The gardens at Chailey Heritage Foundation children’s charity are looking stunning this week thanks to the dedication of a group of volunteers

Garden designer Caroline Scaramanga and her small team of volunteers visit the charity once a week to help out. Volunteers' Week runs from June 1-7 and Caroline says this work is very important to her.

She said: "I just love to come to Chailey Heritage and I definitely feel better when I leave. About three or four years ago I was looking to do some volunteering that tied in with my experience. I knew some people at the charity, and it really went from there.

"It grounds me completely compared to the elite world that I am privileged to work in, and it allows me to give something back to society. There's normally a team of around six volunteering in the various gardens at Chailey Heritage’s base in Haywards Heath Road, North Chailey.
