Gardening with Disabilities Trust
Gardening with Disabilities Trust aims to help people back into gardening in spite of disability. We give out grants so that people can adapt their gardens and make gardening possible. Our clients tell us that it can change their lives, enhance their well-being and help them defy their disability.
The charity is entirely staffed by volunteers. Based in Kent, the Garden of England, we award grants to individuals and groups across the UK, and support people with all kinds of mental and physical challenges. We believe we are the only charity which does this.

Received a grant towards a path
The grant from the Gardening for Disabilities Trust enabled us to start a project that has had a huge impact on both our students, providing them with a valuable real life work experience as well as the residents of a local care home, providing them with a sensory garden and outdoor space that they can use for gardening activities.
