Our Services

School visits and hands-on workshops

“Workshops in horticulture and out of classroom learning” - All abilities and Key Stages catered for.

The Yourspace.sutton team work with a number of organisations and schools with out-of-the-classroom learning in work-based skills. We deliver a range of bespoke training, leisure or therapeutic activities tailored to the needs and requirements of participants. We offer a range of high-quality horticultural workshops and courses to learners across the full ability and age range.

Yourspace.sutton delivers tailored workshops for schools in line with Sutton’s ‘Every child’s journey into work matters’ objectives. We actively seek to engage the wider community, and the site and nursery, therefore have to be maintained appropriately to help facilitate the delivery of these programs as a vehicle for our long-term aims and regeneration of the site. 

All Workshops are led by enthusiastic, qualified and experienced horticulturists covering a full range of horticultural and work-based skills. Workshops motivate and bring learning to life with all tasks, implementing safe and effective practices in the workplace. Learners participate in structured workshops targeting specific outcomes and promoting the effective development of transferable work-based skills. Facilities at the Seears Park Nursery site include indoor and outdoor classrooms, poly and shade tunnels, a pond, raised beds, allotments and walk-through gardens, toilets and disabled access.

To discuss tailoring visits to your school's needs or for further information, please get in touch with us here.
