2012 Appeal - Stud Farm Horticultural Nursery - in Home Park
Date posted: Saturday 13th July 2013
We visited this site last March on one of our organised walks and were very impressed with this project which enables people with learning disabilities to learn how to grow plants, do woodwork and gain qualifications or work-based skills.
They organise regular open days where they sell their products and welcome members of the public to come and explore this fascinating site. They also undertake woodwork restoration for Hampton Court Palace. It offers a supportive, friendly environment where new skills can be acquired.
Stud Nursery has service users attending with physical and multiple learning disabilities, for these service users their time at the Nursery is limited as at present they cannot offer changing facilities for personal care.
A portakabin/disabled portaloo facility would greatly enhance the stimulating opportunities they currently enjoy for a limited period of the day by extending the time that they are able to spend at the Nursery.
