Greening Ipswich: Men’s shed volunteers create innovative planters with greener Ipswich CIC

Spend some time 'with nature'

Our dedicated Men’s Shed volunteers have been working tirelessly to help revitalise and green up some of Ipswich’s neglected areas. Partnering with Greener Ipswich CIC, 14 of our talented volunteers designed and built 14 unique planters, each crafted with care and creativity to enhance the local environment.

What makes these planters particularly special is their innovative design – they can be tessellated into various configurations, allowing for flexible and eye-catching arrangements that brighten up urban spaces. This collaborative project not only brings more greenery to Ipswich but also highlights the importance of community-driven environmental efforts.

The volunteers’ hard work and ingenuity have already made a noticeable difference, and this is just the beginning. With plans for more green initiatives and community projects on the horizon, we are excited about what the future holds. Together with Greener Ipswich CIC, our Men’s Shed volunteers are committed to transforming spaces, fostering sustainability, and making Ipswich a more vibrant place for everyone.

Stay tuned – there are big plans to come, and we can’t wait to share them with you as we continue our mission to create a greener, more beautiful Ipswich.
