All income from plant sales helps us to help more local people

Apart from the money we raise by selling plants we welcome support through donations and grants from organisations and individuals

The charity is run entirely by volunteers. Every £ received goes directly towards buying seeds, plug plants, tools and equipment, and improving the facilities at the farm to support our clients. 

Please help by donating what you can, using the Donate button above.
 

We help to change the lives of local people with learning disabilities

Bringing about positive changes and benefits

Gardening is a rewarding and therapeutic activity, providing physical, mental and emotional benefits.

​

For people with learning disabilities it can help reduce stress and anxiety whilst promoting a true sense of purpose.

​

We provide the facilities and equipment to help our people develop new skills and improve their wellbeing.

Growing, nurturing and selling plants

Our people participate in various activities at the farm, under the care and supervision of our partner organisation, Optalis.
 
They grow a variety of plants for sale to the public, including Spring bulbs, vegetables, annuals and perennials. They also have their own plots where they can choose what to grow for their own enjoyment and consumption.

We love seeing our people grow as individuals.
They love growing plants for you, while growing friendships

and growing confidence.
