Number One Allotment is an organic gardening project for adults with learning and physical disabilities living in the London Borough of Hounslow. Clients are able to learn gardening skills and grow fresh fruit and vegetables for themselves and their families, thereby gaining self-confidence and a sense of achievement.
Volunteer gardeners work closely with all the clients, helping and encouraging them to tackle the many tasks involved in growing and extensive range of allotment produce. Clients spend one day every week gardening at the allotment and enjoy being part of a friendly outdoor community. Over time, they become more sociable, more physically capable and develop a strong connection with the team.
The Trust works with carers and residential care homes in the London Borough of Hounslow to enable interested clients in joining the gardening team. Where necessary, arrangements are made for a care worker to being clients to the allotment on public transport.
