  • Refugee and asylum seeking young people
  • Young people with learning disabilities

The young people will work with our resident beekeeper and other staff to develop their confidence, skills and experience of enterprise through social action while learning how to keep bees in an urban environment and enjoying the diverse and lush green space the garden has to offer.

They will have the opportunity to learn the basics of beekeeping, identifying and creating habitats for all pollinators and craft activities associated with honey and beeswax. They will benefit from increased confidence and public speaking skills and further expand their employability by visiting our City of London partner businesses.
