Horticultural & Outdoor Therapy and Training for People with Additional Support Needs
The Seed Box is a charity and social enterprise and we believe in providing supported opportunities to grow, learn and develop within our idyllic natural surroundings. We recognise that connecting with nature and spending time outdoors is important for everyone.
We carry out a variety of activities to suit every season, which develop a range of skills, including:
growing fruit and vegetables
general gardening work
sowing seeds and propagation
craft activities and woodwork
tool use and maintenance
nature and wildlife activities

We provide a range of opportunities for volunteers to develop new interests and areas of expertise.
