About us
We're more than just a garden centre... We're:
- a provider or support, training, horticulture therapyand employment opportunities for local people with mental health problems
- a big part of the local community, encouraging everyone – from green-fingered experts to brand-new beginners, from 8 to 80 (and beyond) – to get out gardening.
- a not-for-profit social enterprise. That means our profits are reinvested for the benefit of the local community – in particular mental health services.
- a strong advocate for gardening being beneficial for your wellbeing. As a part of NAViGO, North East Lincolnshire’s leading provider of mental health services, we know better than most about the positive impact that gardening and time spent outdoors can have on your mental health.
So when you work with us, you help us to continue to do all this and more.
