Gardening with Disabilities Trust
Helping people with disabilities back into their gardens
The Gardening with Disabilities Trust was created to help people with disabilities back into their gardens. We do this by means of small grants to cover all kinds of adaptations or equipment. In recent years we’ve paid for items such as accessibility ramps, raised beds, handrails on steps, and even a garden-shed which lets in extra light for someone who is partially sighted.
We help individuals, and we love to help groups, because that makes our money go further. People with all kinds of physical or mental abilities, in all parts of the UK, have been awarded grants from the Trust.
We rarely (almost never!) pay for decking, and we never pay for clearing, cutting down trees, general maintenance, provision of a gardener or fencing.
