If you or your child has an interest in outdoor, practical activities in preference to formal classroom studies then you may well be interested in the work at the Walled Garden Project.

We have qualified teachers, facilitators and support staff all  with a great deal of experience but where we differ from schools and colleges is that we operate in a more work-based, practical way. We call you by your first name or nick name if you prefer and you can call us by our first names too.

We agree what we want to get out of our partnership and work together to achieve those goals. There may well be a certain amount of written work to do but this is only to produce a portfolio of evidence, to show to either awarding bodies (if you are working on an accredited course) or to act as a record of your activities for your own personal achievements.

What you will need to bring with you…

• Clothes - ones you don’t mind getting dirty. Lots of layers to keep you warm on cold days!
  
• hats - a woolly one to keep your head warm and dry in winter and perhaps a cap for  the summer months to help protect you from the sun.
  
• A healthy snack and drink for your break times and a packed lunch. if you are going to be with us for the day also any medication you may be required to take during the day

We have an environmental commitment towards recycling and would therefore ask you not to bring anything on site that cannot be easily recycled.

The Walled Garden Project will supply you with protective clothing which includes steel toe capped wellington boots, waterproof jacket and trousers and protective gardening gloves.

 
So what are you waiting for?
You can either contact us directly or If you are still in full time (or even part time) education you need to talk to your teachers and point them in the direction of this web site.

We hope you have found this information helpful. We very much look forward to hearing from you.
