The Stud Nursery

What do we do?

Stud Nursery, our community garden, is a social enterprise and training resource offering a welcoming and supportive environment for people to learn and develop skills, confidence and friendships. We are open weekdays to our service users who are supported by our trained staff and volunteers. 


At the Stud we facilitate a range of activities from cooking, woodwork, animal care and gardening. There are multiple activities happening each day allowing our service users choice as to how to engage with us. We aim to give meaningful employment to our service users without being prescriptive. 


  • Our three glasshouses and two polytunnels are developing into our own plant nursery, with plans to open for plant sales in the future. 
  • Our art room and our woodworking room help facilitate our activities at the Stud, repairing and building new structures on site.
  • Companionship, both with the staff and volunteers as well as each other is a core part of our daily activity.
  • We are a registered AQA training provider, allowing our service users to receive qualifications in activities such as cooking, mental health and wellbeing, and horticulture experience.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT getting involved?

  • Our service users come to us through referrals or private funding. Get in touch for more information on how to access our services.


  • We are always keen for more volunteers to join us to help provide a top quality service. If you are interested in working with people and learning more about gardening, please get in touch. 


  • As we embark on this new period of development, we are hoping to open the doors to a wider public, and widen our relationships with local businesses and corporate sponsors.  If you would like to contribute to growing the resource or just supporting the people who use it contact the team to find out more about we can do for you or you for us.
