PEOPLE who have battled mental health illness will help others get into the festive spirit.

Link Nurseries in Hamilton Close, off Hospital Lane in Powick, provides people who have experienced mental illness with the opportunity to complete horticultural work as part of a personal and occupational development project.

They make wreaths and table decorations which are now available for sale.

Throughout the year staff and service users participate in a range of events, including local horticultural shows, and this year they have signed a contract to support local parks staff.

Every year they hold a number of plant sales and every Christmas they make and sell festive items.

Link Nurseries is open from 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday.
