The staff team have been very busy over the summer and need help refreshing the garden.

AbPhab provides incredible opportunities for 11-25 year-olds with special educational needs and disabilities, and our task will make the garden ready for young people to use, including harvesting the fruit & vegetables for cooking sessions!
