Restore’s creations have been particularly popular at Nicholson’s Nurseries in North Aston, which has ordered a second batch after selling out.

The next load of garden creations will be available by the end of April.

Restore co-ordinator Jacqui Vincent-Potter said: “This is brilliant news for our workshop. Our volunteers and members put in a huge amount of work to complete the first order and are hard at work again.

“Nicholsons is a prestigious company so it is a great compliment to us they stock our handmade goods.”

Another item recently added to Restore’s range is a custom-made ‘memories book’ made of felt and embroidery, which tells the story of the individual’s life using inserts and pictures.
