Selmes Garden Centre is a community trust set up to provide employment opportunities for people with disabilities (physical or intellectual) within the Marlborough region. We are a successfully operating Trust employing 10 people with disabilities and 5 without. A retail Garden Centre specialising in growing high quality, good-value plants. The Trust and the people associated with it are fulfilling a role vacated by the IHC. Work and support provided for people with disabilities through a community nursery and garden centre. Operated by a group of motivated people who believe in the ‘reason for being’ and are passionate about providing opportunities for people with disabilities. A community-based workplace and non-profit organization that works towards increasing their capacity to provide more work and support for more people with disabilities. Selmes provides a huge boost for the self-esteem and worth of all who work there; to enable everyone to feel ‘valued’. Patrons visiting Selmes contribute to this very noble cause through their support in purchasing product from Selmes.
