Flower Pod is a horticultural based Social Enterprise located just outside the historic cathedral town of Southwell in Nottinghamshire.
We are part of Reach Learning Disability, a charity that provides day-centre care and domiciliary support for people with learning disabilities. Flower Pod is one of the four Reach bases in Southwell, Newark and Mansfield.
Our 1.5 acre eco-friendly site creates an enchanting environment where employees, volunteers and people with learning disabilities come together to produce and sell beautiful cut flowers, natural confetti, wreaths and other locally sourced products.
Buying from Flower Pod is a great way to support our activities and contribute directly to reducing our dependency on external funding. Visit the Flower Pod Shop to find out more.
Discover the many ways you can get involved, such as volunteering, providing support as a local business or involving us in local events. Our straw-bale building makes a great venue for educational activities, social events or meetings and you can book a tour of the garden for your own association or group of friends.
If you would like to know more about our services for people with learning disabilities or find out how to get involved in Flower Pod please do contact us – we would love to hear from you.

Flower Pod bonfire social! Thank you to everyone who came along and joined in the fun. Special thanks to our volunteers who helped us to make the evening a success - you are all super!
Thank you for another great event at Flowerpod. We had a super time 😊
Oh it looked great, so sad to have missed it. X
This week we started work on the very exciting garden design at King’s Mill hospital. With help from the brilliant (and very aptly named) Daffodil volunteers and stroke unit staff we planted spring bulbs. And we measured up so we can get designing a beautiful flower garden for patients, visitors and staff to enjoy this courtyard space.

Inspiring visit to Flower Pod Southwell to see how our £14,624 Coop Local Fund award has enabled adults with learning difficulties to develop horticultural skills and work together with staff & volunteers to grow & sell cut flowers. @FlowerPodReach @reach_ld #ItsWhatWeDo
