Working for The Serge Hill Project

The Serge Hill Project for Gardening, Creativity and Health is a not-for-profit initiative based on the understanding that working with nature can radically transform people’s health and wellbeing. The aim is to foster community inclusion through gardening and other forms of creativity.

The Project is based in a one-acre orchard at Serge Hill in Hertfordshire with a Plant Library and large eco-barn, The Apple House, at its centre. It offers resources to local primary and secondary schools, youth organisations and mental health charities, as well as local residents who want to get involved in gardening.

Our community engagement programme focuses on those who have least opportunity to access the natural world. Along with events and organised visits to the Orchard, the Project aims to build long lasting relationships with schools and community groups both locally and further afield.
