what we do
We support every member in learning new skills and making their unique contribution here at Friary Gardeners and in the community. Members engage in all aspects of the nursery, from growing plants and making planters to customer service.
All members work towards their own goals and greater independence at a pace that suits them.
By taking into account skill levels, personal interests, experience, and aspirations, and by offering a variety of activities, we aim to create a balance between purposeful work and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
We review goals and activities with our members formally on an annual basis, but we encourage and support people to express their preferences, choose, and reflect on their learning and achievements.
Parchment is such a wonderful service tailored to support Thomas' complex needs. You have given him the ability to enjoy and participate in activities, which is wonderful for him and his quality of life.
