We were delighted to welcome Jason Ralph-Smith from Auto Pot to Stanford Hall recently; many thanks to Medwyn’s of Anglesey for the introduction!

Jason is keen to support our work at Stanford Hall by donating self-regulating watering  and plant feeding systems to us; the pots require little or no soil and can be used with many different growing mediums.

Andy is keen to start using the Auto Pot system when Stanford Hall is receiving patients again and is already planning a series of trials with the Neuro patients.

He said “For our patients who are less horticulturally minded, it is still an interesting system. We have a lot of engineers who are patients, and they will find the principles and mechanics of the Auto Pot valves fascinating to understand and to watch in action.”

Ian Elliott our Chairman of Trustees added,

“I am delighted that our friends at Auto Pot have joined the broader ‘team HighGround.’ Their expertise with particular regard to irrigation systems will be invaluable to us as we look to develop our much valued Horticultural Therapy work at Stanford Hall. Your support is very much appreciated folks; welcome aboard!”
