Local MP Tom Gordon is supporting Horticap's 40th anniversary with a Parliamentary Motion.
Horticap is a charity that supports people in the community with learning disabilities.
The charity was founded in 1984 and has grown to become a thriving garden centre and café that provides training in horticulture, allied crafts, and rural skills for dozens of students each year.
The Motion also pays tribute to Alan Titchmarsh, the charity’s patron, for his continued support of Horticap, and recognises Harrogate Flower Show’s role in showcasing the charity’s important work.
Tom Gordon commented on his visit last Friday to the charity:
"Horticap is a fantastic example of what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared purpose.
"Their work has transformed the lives of so many people, and it’s only right that we celebrate their remarkable 40-year journey.
"I’m proud to mark this milestone and wish them every success with their year-long special programme of events and fundraising efforts."
