About Little Gate Flowers

Nestled in a beautiful rural setting on the grounds of a former working farm, and surrounded by the tranquil Beckley Woods, Little Gate Flowers is a cut flower garden and social enterprise with a difference.

Part of Little Gate, a charity dedicated to supporting adults with autism and learning disabilities into paid employment, the working garden is both a place of growth and a place of learning.
With around fifty raised beds filled with a mix of annuals and perennials, a dedicated Sensory Garden, and a polytunnel, the site is bursting with colour and life. Quirky handmade outdoor structures add charm and character, creating a truly unique environment.

Every bloom grown here carries a story—not just beautiful flowers, but of opportunity, empowerment, and community.
