Leading Dorset mental health charity Plants and Minds is egg-cited to announce its 2026 Easter Egg Bingo Night, with all proceeds helping adults to improve their mental wellbeing via gardening and community connection.
Set to take place on Wednesday 18 March at Kinson Conservative Club in Bournemouth, the event promises a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere with fantastic Easter-themed bingo prizes and plenty of opportunities to socialise while supporting a great cause.
Plants and Minds runs award-winning Cherry Tree Nursery in Bournemouth, as well as Chestnut Nursery in Poole, where adults with life-impacting mental health conditions engage in therapeutic horticulture – a programme that has a proven track record of transforming wellbeing.
The charity’s Community Liaison Officer, Maria Tidy, said: “We wanted to put on an event that’s fun, accessible and brings people together while supporting a great mental health cause. Easter bingo felt like the perfect way to achieve our goals, and we’d love to see the community come along and engage in what promises to be an evening to remember.”
Plants and Minds supports people experiencing mental health challenges by providing safe, welcoming and inclusive spaces as its two nurseries, which have gained a loyal following among green-fingered locals for their extensive range of top-quality, home-grown plants.
People referred for horticultural therapy, known as team members, connect with nature, learn new skills, make friends and build confidence at the nurseries. Money raised from the new Easter Egg Bingo Night will help the charity continue to provide its vital work within the local community.
Maria added: “Everyone is welcome, so be a good egg – please bring friends, family, work colleagues and neighbours for what promises to be an enjoyable evening of fun, laughter and great prizes – while helping Plants and Minds to continue using the power of plants and gardening to enhance wellbeing across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.”
Doors open at 6.30pm on Wednesday 18 March and it’s eyes down for a bingo bonanza at 7.15pm. Tickets, which cost just £15 per person, include a half-time fish and chips supper, which will be served at 8.30pm.
