Mudlarks Community Garden Allotments
At Mudlarks Community Garden Allotments adults with learning disabilities and/or mental health concerns learn skills in horticulture. Once trained our gardeners are invited to use their gardening skills in the community with The Special Branch and Larking About projects. Each week we welcome 196 people across the Mudlarks Community to learn new skills which enable disabled people to fulfil their potential by increasing confidence and creating work experience which can lead to employability and college placements. Please note there is a charge for this service.

Mudlarks has multiple projects in Hertford. At Mudlarks our learning disabled service users live with profound disabilities including Autism, Downs Syndrome, Fragile X and Cerebral Palsy make a recognisable contribution to their community. Many of our workers with complex needs are not accepted at other daycare provisions. Mudlarks reduces isolation and loneliness by offering purposeful day-care to our vulnerable workers with a choice of different projects, including:
- Larking About. This project is a professional gardening service working on public green spaces including Hertford Castle and St Leonards Church grounds.
- Special Branch. An external team of disabled gardeners working on private gardens belonging to vulnerable residents of our community.
