Welcome to LionMouth.....
COVID 19 Due to the corona virus the LionMouth Rural Centre (CIC) is currently closed to the public although we have just had the return of many of our day care service users. We are keeping our gates locked to visitors during the day to minimise virus vectors for all those on site. Please bare with us during this frustrating time, and keep an eye on social media/ websites for any changes. |
WHAT ABOUT THE PLANTS?
ON-LINE/ TELEPHONE ORDERING Whilst our gates are still shut to the public we are now offering a pick-up-at-the-gate service. Have a look at our plant list (see button below or go to drop down menu under horticulture). Please get in touch with us to place your order (either by phone, text, messenger or email...you can write to us as well if you really want to). Payment can be made through a bank transfer if you use internet banking, otherwise we ask for the correct cash to be placed in an envelope and exchanged upon delivery of plants (into the big orange bucket). Please be patient as we are outside looking after the site, livestock and plants and may miss a phone call or be a little while getting back to you...but we will. We will of course take all precautions necessary to prevent the spread of the virus. |
LionMouth Rural Centre is a non profit community organisation (CIC) which promotes wellbeing of the vulnerable in our community through the provision of practical and creative activities.
What is LionMouth.......?LionMouth Rural Centre sits in seven acres of land bounded by the river Deerness to the South and the Deerness Valley Walkway to the North. The mixed woodland hides deer, otters, kingfishers and a wide variety of interesting wildlife. There are walkways through the woods, as well links to many established walking and cycling routes. We have an ancient meadow upon which our bees start their pollen collecting journeys, and a wild meadow down by the river which we can be used for events, camping, and outdoor workshops.
On our top terraces we have a retro chic tea rooms which serves home-made food from produce sourced from local suppliers. The plant nursery sells hardy perennials, herbs and shrubs all propagated on site within our fully functioning horticultural unit. We have a large, well equipped Art room and a separate pottery unit. Our workshop is where old unwanted pieces of wood get upcycled into funky furniture, 'useful' things and art work. See whats happening at the Lionmouth Blog page....... |
