Vitavia- Supporting the Suffolk Walking Festival.

In a slight departure from our usual weekly blog topics, we would like to tell you about the Suffolk Walking Festival of which we are very proud supporters.  The annual festival will be running (walking!) from 29^th May until 10^th June 2012.  Of particular interest this year is the festival Challenge Walk, from ‘Flatford to the Fens’ which involves walking 70 miles in 5 days from 20^th to 24^th May 2012.

The ‘challenge’ is the perfect way to discover Suffolk on a guided walk through Constable Country.  Starting from Flatford you’ll visit Dedham, Nayland and Sudbury before continuing onto Long Melford, Lavenham, Bury St Edmunds, West Stow then Mildenhall.  More details will be available soon from the Discover Suffolk website – www.discoversuffolk.org.uk

As a greenhouse manufacturer and wholesaler with head offices in Suffolk, we are very proud to be supporting this excellent event.  Greenhouses are an integral part of the ‘grow your own’ philosophy which is gathering pace year on year.  Grow your own is no longer simply a trend but a ‘way of life’ and rather fittingly the English translation of our Latin company name, ‘Vitavia’ (pronounced “vita-via”), is ‘the way of life’.  Two of the key elements of growing your own are the promotion of a healthy balanced diet in conjunction with exercise, and it’s the promotion of exercise which brings us neatly back to our main reason for wanting to support the Suffolk Walking Festival Challenge Walk.  Not too tenuous, we hope you agree!

If you live in this beautiful County keep a look out during May for the enthusiastic group striding out in ‘Vitavia’ t-shirts or even better, sign up to take the challenge!
