MENCAP GARDEN  PROJECT

Working with people with learning disabilities to provide horticultural

training and work experience

This is the principal project administered by 

Pembrokeshire Mencap : the project began in

1983 with the leasing of the garden from the

National Trust. The current garden now covers five

and a half acres. It was originally  the walled garden

of the former Stackpole Court which was demolished

in 1962 prior to the sale of the Stackpole Estate.

Since the Society acquired the garden, it has been

developed to provide a service for people with

learning difficulties.

 Nearly all the persons enjoying the service we

provide are enrolled on accredited training courses

administered by a full time staff of four together

with a very important group of volunteers who work

within the Gardens and support  the staff and

students.

The Plants and Produce grown  as a part of the

training process bring the Gardens back to life and provide an opportunity for everyone to buy Locally produced fresh

produce and plants.
