Our Gardens
Our garden sites have been developed by disabled people with diverse needs in mind and are used all year round. Anyone with an interest in being outdoors, meeting new people and trying something new can get involved. People with limited mobility, specific learning needs, disabilities or mental health issues can be supported through the use of adapted tools, techniques and friendly staff teams. We’re equipped with onsite classrooms and facilities to deliver active outdoor learning experiences for all ages and abilities and regularly welcome schools and community groups.

It has a greenhouse, polytunnels, outdoor growing beds, toilets and handwashing facilities, classroom, off road parking, allotment plots, healing and decorative gardens and wildlife area.

Barlow Road
Adjacent to Junction 9 of the M6 motorway, we are creating a new community garden at Barlow Road from derelict land, developing our environmentally beneficial food production, and increasing meaningful health, wellbeing and employability activities.
