GALLERY: Festive preparations at Horticap
Preparations for the festive period are now underway at Harrogate-based Horticap as students are busy with plant potting, wreath making, tree prepping and decorating.
The independent Harrogate provides adults with learning disabilities with training in various outdoor skills.
It is located at Bluecoat Wood Nurseries on Harrogate‘s Otley Road, has helped adults with learning disabilities train in horticulture and outdoor skills since 1984.
This week, students have been preparing for the festive season — take a look at our pictures below as they get into full swing for Christmas.
