Earthworks St. Albans

Who we are

Earthworks St. Albans is a registered charity that offers social and therapeutic horticulture opportunities for Earthworkers (individuals with a learning disability or mental health issues). Earthworkers, volunteers and support staff learn and work together to develop and maintain 3.5 acres of eco-gardens, with a focus on sustainability, organic horticulture and traditional countryside skills.

Our site has been described as an 'oasis', boasting themed ornamental gardens, large allotment market gardens, individual plots for Earthworkers, heritage apple orchard, woodland, woodworks yard, pond habitats, forest garden and wild flower meadow, all centred around our sustainably sourced oak-framed eco-building.

Earthworks engages the wider public through our monthly stall at the St Albans farmers market, as well as with open days and workshops throughout the year. We offer workshops for groups of school children and young people with learning disabilities and a summer scheme for young adults.
