The project is one of two run by Thrive using gardening to make a difference to the lives of disabled people. Before coming here, I worked at The Loddon School, teaching independence and life skills to young people with autism and learning disabilities. This included maintaining its allotment. I trained as a special needs teacher then undertook a horticulture qualification and I am now a trainee NVQ assessor.
We have just developed a new Secret Garden, which is designed to meet the needs of children and young people with special educational needs.
