Activity Centre Diary and News for July

July 2016
Prime News is the monthly event diary of The Derby and District MS Society
based at the Derby MS Activity Centre
Gold Award for MS Beautiful
Border at Gardeners World
Live NEC
Horticulture staff and students at Derby College have teamed up with The
Multiple Sclerosis Society, Derby and
District Branch to create a unique plant
border that was exhibited and judged
at BBC Gardeners' World Live 2016 at Birmingham's NEC.
Gold was awarded to the MS Society Derby & District Branch and Derby College on
Wednesday 15th June.
The border was created to raise awareness of MS and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Inspired by the poem 'MS' by Rose Robinson, the border design incorporates the
National MS Society colours of orange and black - signifying the highs and lows in
the emotional journey facing MS sufferers.
A metal sign running through the plants spells out the message 'Hope Forms the
Future' which was created by Engineering students at the College's Roundhouse
campus and is based on the Derby MS Activity Centre’s mission statement. The border was sponsored by Local Horticulture company Plantscape.
A massive thank you to Mike, Michelle, Cindi, Cat,
Richard, Tom and all the others involved in this
amazing project. Your unwavering determination,
enthusiasm and excellence in what you do has
brought the MS garden to life.
