Welcome!

Earthworks St. Albans is a registered charity that offers trainees, often with learning difficulties or mental health problems, work experience and training in horticultural and land-based skills. We have a two-acre site in Hixberry Lane, St. Albans. It is managed on environmental principles and is open to the general public a number of times a year or by appointment.

Earthworks staff and volunteers work - and learn - with the trainees to maintain the site, with its gardens, tree nursery, vegetable beds, shade tunnels and polytunnel.

Earthworks also has a contracts team that undertakes gardening and construction tasks for local individuals, institutions and organisations. We have a stall at the monthly St. Albans Farmers' Market where we sell fruit, vegetables, herbs and craft produced at Hixberry Lane. Vistors can also buy 'on-site'.
