Growing Confidence
We are a Wokingham based charity supporting local people with learning disabilities through horticultural activities. We provide the tools and facilities to allow our clients to grow plants and develop as individuals. We have a market garden at Turgis Green and sell all our produce at the Acorn Community Centre, Fernlea Drive, Woosehill, RG41 3DR.
Open 09:30 to 15:30 Monday to Friday
All income from plant sales helps us help more local people
Apart from the money we raise by selling plants we welcome support through donations and grants from organisations and individuals
The charity is run entirely by volunteers. Every £ received goes directly towards buying seeds, plug plants, tools and equipment, and improving the facilities at the farm to support our clients.

We help to change the lives of local people with learning disabilities
Bringing about positive changes and benefits
Gardening is a rewarding and therapeutic activity, providing physical, mental and emotional benefits.
​
For people with learning disabilities it can help reduce stress and anxiety whilst promoting a true sense of purpose.
​
We provide the facilities and equipment to help our people develop new skills and improve their wellbeing.
Growing, nurturing and selling plants
Our people participate in various activities at the farm, under the care and supervision of our partner organisation, Optalis.
They grow a variety of plants for sale to the public, including spring bulbs, vegetables, annuals and perennials. They also have their own plots where they can choose what to grow for their own enjoyment and consumption.
We love seeing our people grow as individuals.
They love growing plants for you, while growing friendships
and growing confidence
Major refurbishment projects completed
We have recently completed the complete refurbishment of two our main polytunnels at the farm bringing them back into full use for propagation of plants and vegetables, all of the work being carried out by our team of regular volunteers. Two major investments and undertakings.
We thank the Englefield Foundation Trust, Berkshire Community Foundation and Barratt Homes for their generosity We have included a new raised bed, laid new access paths and wheelchair turning circles to support those with some physical disability. This means that they can contribute to growing plants in a safe designed work area.
