Horticulture Training
Who can participate?
New Horizons Partnership has a range of horticulture training
programmes aimed at addressing the growing demand for such training. Anyone
with an interest in developing skills in horticulture should contact Nicola
who will outline the range of programmes available.
All sites also offer training opportunities for learning disabled clients within an integrated setting. Where possible, disabled and non-disabled groups are given the opportunity to train together within a work setting. This commitment to integration with society for those with disabilities is one of the core principles behind the New Horizons Partnership.
Where does training take place?
Training takes place in Strabane and Derry. Staff from both
sites are pictured below.
Johnny Mitchell manages

... together with Iris
