Poplars Garden at Ryder-Cheshire House

09.11.22

Over the past 2 years, students from Poplars have been visiting Ryder-Cheshire House to assist with maintaining the gardens at the site. Students have been regularly volunteering morning sessions to complete tasks such as pruning trees, weeding garden beds, planting and other garden-related jobs.

The Ryder-Cheshire houses provide housing for adults with disabilities. There are two houses onsite – one named Ryder and the other named Cheshire – each housing 5 residents who are currently supported by HomeCare+. A fantastic initiative that all Poplars students love being a part of!
