Flower Pod is a garden full of flowers, surrounded by farmland on the edge of Nottingham Trent University’s Brackenhurst campus. Focused on community, creativity and sustainability, it provides learning within 1.5 acres of green space.
Helping people with learning disabilities connect with both nature and their local community is at the heart of everything we do.
Clients enjoy gardening, wildlife, crafts, floristry, and other transferable skills that help people gain in confidence and to develop towards living more independently.
Flower Pod also is a place to relax, build new friendships and get some exercise in the fresh air, helping to promote positive emotional and physical wellbeing.
We welcome supporters who want to work with our clients or help in the garden.
We host corporate volunteering activities for groups of between 6 – 20 people who can take part in tasks that help us improve and maintain our site. If you're an organisation that is committed to giving something back, why not give us a ring to see if we can help organise something to suit you?
To get involved as a client, carer, volunteer or donor, call 01636 918271.

Nicola Bradley
Flower Pod Centre Manager
Hello, I’m Nicola…
I have a wealth of experience in several outdoor educational settings (and I'm a qualified Geography Secondary School Teacher!). But my real passion is gardening and I've previously volunteered in 2 community gardens. I'm also doing RHS Horticulture training to expand my knowledge. I'm looking forward to being able to put it into practice at Flower Pod Southwell.
