therapeutic outdoor learning
new for 2026- a quiet space to grow
We are excited to share that we now have a Seedlings Garden designed for children to engage in hands-on activities outside of school. This space allows students to collaborate in small groups or work one-on-one with a trusted adult. The Seedlings Hub serves as a place to acquire practical skills, connect with nature, and create something to take pride in. It provides an alternative setting for children not attending mainstream education or for homeschool groups, where they can learn everything from growing vegetables and flowers to tackling larger projects like landscaping and garden maintenance.

what to expect
At the Seedlings Hub, every child gets to embrace their very own piece of the vibrant garden. They’ll work alongside a dedicated adult mentor who will share the skills needed to make the garden flourish, boosting their sense of pride and accomplishment. They might be planting seeds and bulbs, cutting back huge hedges, building raised beds, or burning garden waste.
Our staff are passionate about helping children, especially those who haven’t been in mainstream education for a while, reach their full potential.
Plus, there’s a cosy indoor space where they can relax, enjoy a warm drink, and engage in the garden's planning process.
Jessamy is also a qualified Drawing & Talking practitioner, ready to provide this enriching experience right in the same welcoming space!
