Earthworks enables people of all abilities to learn and work together in nature. We support people with learning disabilities, acquired brain injuries, autism and mental health needs – alongside dedicated volunteers to develop and manage 3.5 acres of beautiful eco-gardens in St Albans. Together we grow produce and plants using organic principles, and build wildlife habitats. Our purposeful activity develops skills, builds confidence, boosts health and wellbeing and protects & enhances our green outdoor space. We champion social inclusion and environmental sustainability. We use the recognised, evidence-based, holistic model of social and therapeutic horticulture in our provision of Green Care. Our work is person-centred and goals-based focussing on co-production and skills development. Through purposeful activity in natural spaces we support and enable people to experience the benefits of time spent in nature, to exercise choice and work towards achieving their aspirations.
