Karin’s most recent project is the highly successful Old Bag Campaign, which ran at the garden centre throughout July.

Dozens of second hand bags were filled with toiletries and were donated to charity Off The Fence, to be handed out to the homeless women of Brighton and Hove.

Her next project will involve asking her customers to donate woolly hats in preparation for the coming winter months, in support of the charity’s Project Antifreeze, which helps the homeless and vulnerable stay warm during cold weather.
