Shaw Trust Palmer Gardens

Palmer Gardens Garden Centre and Cafe provide training and employment for adults with learning and/or physical disability in Trowbridge, Wiltshire.

Our Day Opportunities programme is open ended and is available to anyone over the age of 16. Activities include practical horticulture, customer service, retail and catering/ hospitality. We can work with you to develop employment skills, but the social emphasis means Palmer's is also a great place to meet and make friends! 

Open to 16-24 year olds who have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP), Shaw Trust's Supported Internship programme helps people to gain real work experience in a garden centre or horticultural environment. During the Internship you will have the chance to try working in three different areas over a period of 9 months. A Job Coach will support you and help you learn all aspects of the job.
