Helmsley Walled Garden - changing lives through gardening

We are a social enterprise working to develop and maintain this historic five acre garden alongside being a centre for horticultural therapy provision. Starting back in 1995 we have provided horticultural therapy for our supported volunteers and financed it through visitor admissions.

Why the community needs us

We believe that everyone benefits from being in our garden and we want as many people to access it as possible. We support people with life conditions, mental ill health issues and people struggling with social isolation and self-confidence. The various programmes we run provide a safe place for people to work together, learn new skills and grow in confidence. We want to be able to reach out to more people and with your help we can.

Our impact on the community

Currently we are supporting twenty people through the various programmes we run but we want to reach more people. We need to develop our buildings to make them suitable for a wider range of activities as well as watertight and warm. Where it's appropriate we hope to see supported volunteers getting back into work, for others it will be the confidence to deal with everyday life or simply that here they can meet other people and become socially involved again.

Volunteers needed

we'd love you to be a part of the team here, gardening, working in our shop, juicing, cider making, giving tours, the list is endless. You can give as little as an hour a week, it all makes a huge difference. Get in touch to learn more.
