The Horticulture Industry Scheme CIC

We offer training and supported, paid employment to returning citizens and people who have been homeless and/or have complex needs. We carry out gardening and grounds maintenance services commercially for businesses and private homes, and we offer free gardening services to people who can no longer manage their gardens through, for example, lack of mobility by taking in a team of gardeners to renovate and simplify the garden. All our workforce are given support around any resettlements needs they may have and we work with two local training suppliers to provide accredited training in different aspects of gardening. Some of our employees stay with us long-term whilst others join for limited four-month placements and we then help them move on into permanent employment as they leave us.
