The Rentstart Journals volume 2 - Office Allotment
If you've been following Rentstart’s social media, you may have noticed something special taking root in our office garden – a flourishing allotment space, lovingly cultivated by one of our dedicated client volunteers. What was once an ordinary patio has blossomed into a vibrant garden, full of life and growth.
From hearty carrots to impressive marrows, our office has been treated to an abundance of fresh, homegrown produce. This transformation is more than just a display of gardening skills – it's a testament to the power of community and care. Our client's efforts have brought a renewed sense of purpose and beauty to our space, with the promise of continued growth in the seasons ahead.
I spoke with our client volunteer earlier to hear what they had to say about the project:
“[The Allotment] is something for everyone to enjoy, I enjoy doing it. I like to watch things grow.
I makes me feel good about myself, I like the routine”
Beyond the fresh produce, this allotment reflects the value of community and shared effort. For our client, tending to the garden offers a meaningful way to contribute, while also showcasing the importance of feeling included and supported. Every vegetable grown represents the care and dedication that fuels Rentstart's mission. Small actions like these remind us of the positive change that can come when people work together, strengthening both our organization and the community as a whole.
At Rentstart, our client volunteers are truly the heart of our community. Their generosity, dedication, and willingness to give back help us thrive in so many ways. They are valued and essential members of our team, and their contributions enrich not only our office but the entire community we serve.
