Magic Beans finished work on the garden in April so it has been a while since the last blog post--- apologies! But, here's an update on what's been going on with the Magic Beans since then...
------------------------
On July 7th, Envision hosted the Truth About Youth Awards. The ceremony gave the many Birmingham Envision teams the chance to celebrate their successes over the last year.

Magic Beans were nominated for two special awards and we are very proud to say that we won the "Team of the Year Award" and were commended for our use of media in spreading the word about our project. We are also delighted that our own team mentor, Bethan, won the "Team Mentor of the Year Award".

We would like to say a huge thank you to our mentor (Bethan Court) and our Envision co-ordinator (Emma Packham) for their support throughout our project. They not only guided us in the planning stages but also gave up their own time to be alongside us when we were doing the gardening itself- we really would not have been able to have done all this without them.
We would also like to say thank you to the panel from Pitch4Change for giving us a grant of £500 to get us going with the project. Without this sort of money, it would have been much more difficult for us to buy the necessary plants and equipment for the garden.
