HANOVER WALK, STORRINGTON<br />

Potty People<br />

Estate Manager Val Harber encourages<br />

residents at the Storrington estate to come<br />

up with a craft initiative every year. In 2008,<br />

an idea for flower pot people emerged. The<br />

residents trawled their shed and local<br />

charity shops to collect used flower pots<br />

and other bits and pieces to reuse.<br />

In a matter of weeks the ‘Potty People’ were<br />

born. The fun creations are now living<br />

around the estate for the whole community<br />

to enjoy. They have even had a coach load<br />

of visitors from Canada and the local RAF<br />

nursing home drop by to see them!<br />

Children on their way to school are often<br />

heard commenting on the Potty People,<br />

especially when they have been on the move<br />

again around the estate.<br />

The estate has just won ‘Storrington in<br />

“<br />

Children are often<br />

Potty People, especially<br />

the move again!<br />

Bloom’ and no doubt the Potty People<br />

helped the judges to decide this was the<br />

best garden in the whole community.<br />

So if you’re ever wondering what to do with<br />

your old unused flower pots, now you know.<br />

The idea could really catch on, so watch out for<br />

more Potty People coming to a place near you!<br />
