What is ‘Grow Your Future’?
Grow Your Future at ActivGardens – for young people aged 16 to 24
If you are looking for a new direction or need a boost after the challenges of Covid-19 – how about taking part in a free outdoor learning programme at ActivGardens? Grow Your Future will enable you to learn new skills and gain confidence on your way to further learning, training or employment.
The 12-week programme includes gardening, horticulture and environmental conservation, with a chance to get involved in activities such as woodworking or bee-keeping. Grow Your Future is for young people aged 16 to 24 who are unemployed or economically inactive, and not engaging in education or training.
When and Where?
From Spring 2022 at:
- The People’s Community Garden, Maidenhall Allotments, Halifax Road, Ipswich IP2 8RE

Sudbury has good public transport links and the park is a short walk from the train station and bus station. We may sometimes work in other local parks and green spaces in Sudbury and Great Cornard – venue and timings to be arranged with the group.
ActivGardens provide a rounded learning environment with positive outcomes for work and life.

“I am so glad I came to the community garden this week, I have had a bad week…and I really didn’t feel like going but I am so glad I did I feel so much better now, being in the garden, getting fresh air, seeing the staff and other volunteers has put a big smile on my face, I can’t wait til next week now.”
“I like all the people here, and I feel comfortable, safe and while I am here I can just be myself. It helps to mix and meet others, as living alone I don’t have much outside life, so coming here helps with anxiety.”

Chantry Walled Garden is a heritage walled garden in a public park, with flower borders and vegetable-growing areas, as well as extensive glasshouses as part of our plant nursery. Our base is cosy Nursery Cottage, where there is an accessible courtyard garden with raised beds for wheelchair users. The adjacent workshop has facilities for woodwork and basic construction. In this garden you can learn skills relevant to the horticultural industry as well as enjoy maintaining a garden full of history.
Every Tuesday and Thursday we hold a plant sale, where we sell plants we’ve grown in the garden to help fund the project.
