Continuing with our ethos of making the best of what we’ve been provided, we intend to focus our efforts on “greener things” and launch a new garden project which will sit alongside the trading activities already on the Emmaus site at Portslade. We aim to maximize the use of the extensive grounds for the cultivation of ornamental and culinary plants for sale in our Main Shop. Added to this will be a range of garden related furniture, tools, books, planters, etc. which will enhance the garden lifestyle – outdoors as well as in the home. This stock will take pride of place in the Main Shop and outside on the forecourt. We will give the products the Emmaus “upcycled” touch and transform planters, terracotta pots and any weird and wonderful objects for use in the garden or on a patio. We will offer unique products and great ideas for the garden following the latest trends in garden lifestyle. As always, we will offer a great source of products for those who love their garden and are keen to support the reuse of someone else’s unwanted goods. The project will become a brand in its own right and will sit alongside the Emporium and Revive Café. It will attract new customers and offer our existing supporters a new reason to visit this wonderful social enterprise in the heart of Portslade Old Village.
