We’ve been working away in the community garden, teaching skills for years. And now this Summer, we’re launching a new Path 2 Purpose programme, here to support those currently out of work and looking for a positive next step.

Please join our fully funded, 8-week free course to learn the basics of gardening and horticulture. 

We’ll cover a wide range of topics over the weeks with hands-on tasks in each session, giving you a holistic approach to gardening and the skills and confidence to try something new.

We’ll be covering topics such as

• • Tool use and Safety in the garden

• • Introduction to Plants and Plant Care

• • Planting Technique & Border Design

• • Growing Fruit & Vegetables

• • Sustainable Gardening Practices

• • Propagation

• • Growing & Using Herbs
  • And more

Led by Victoria & Ali, this free course is also an opportunity to make new friends and spend time in a beautiful, supportive outdoor space. Gardening together has been shown to improve mental and physical well-being. And we are here to help and support you. Whether you’ve recently been made redundant, or perhaps taken time away to raise a family, or you simply want a fresh start, we welcome everyone. 

During the sessions, we’ll also work on other transferable skills such as teamwork, communication, confidence, and planning. We’ll also keep a gardening notebook to track progress and help remember the session content.
