Mayfield Garden Centre, part of Hampshire’s largest mental health charity, Solent Mind, has closed for refurbishments.
The not-for-profit garden centre and horticultural wellbeing service, which supports members of the local community with their mental health, is undergoing maintenance work to ensure its readiness for winter and to be able to provide an even better experience for visitors.
The work includes a new composite roof to improve insulation, shop refurbishment and kitchen renovation to be able to offer an enhanced cafe menu.
Mayfield Garden Centre will remain closed whilst the maintenance work takes place, with the not-for-profit expecting to reopen the doors to its renewed space in time for Christmas, in early December. Its wellbeing courses will continue to run off-site in the meantime.
Jude Gardner, Acting Operations Manager for Southampton Services at Mayfield Garden Centre, said: “It’s an exciting time here at Mayfield Garden Centre as we undergo a much needed refurbishment to make our centre warmer and cosier for our community.
“We are hoping to open again in the first week of December and can’t wait to reveal our revamped space to visitors in the readiness for the lead-up to Christmas.”
