Ashbrook Garden Centre
This is a social enterprise based in Ashbrook Estate near Londonderry.
In essence Ashbrook Garden Centre is a social enterprise that focuses on providing horticulture skills training to individuals with a learning disability and other socially disadvantaged clients.
Since its inception, activities in Ashbrook
have had a high degree of community involvement and have strived to empower
clients by providing them with person-centred training to develop their work
and interpersonal skills.
Like Strabane Garden Centre, the local community has also benefited from having access to a fully stocked garden centre on their doorstep.
The garden centre grows and sells a variety of plants and flowers on a year-round basis. You can also buy garden ornaments, garden furniture and other materials to help you create and maintain a healthy and colourful garden.
The success of Ashbrook both as a social enterprise and as a training facility has been achieved through the development of a secure, encouraging work environment. The energies of the work force can be channeled into focused, positive, constructive outcomes that incorporate career progression strategies.
Ashbrook operates within a social economy model and in itself is designed to operate as a self sustaining entity. The social economy model forms a key aspect of the organisation’s sustainability strategy.
