Gardening and Horticultural Services - Surrey Choices

A community service to help people with learning disabilities to garden in Surrey. Over recent years the team has managed two local nature reserves for Woking Borough Council. It has involved clearing hundreds of trees and unwanted vegetation to create large wildflower meadows and forest clearings.

The team are always looking for new projects to get involved with. On every vocational project, the work is completed by the team members who are in training with support from our staff. Any money raised from their work goes back into the project to continue training and developing the teams' skills.

Vocational projects like this help the team members to improve their confidence, gain independence and learn new skills to prepare for the world of work. They have their own modules of learning and provide support for all of those involved with this project.
