Our 2023 Pick Your Own Sunflowers will open from Saturday 29th July
Supporting our local community
Each year the sales from our PYO Sunflowers are in aid of a wonderful local charity and we are delighted to announce that for 2023 we will be raising money for Style Acre.
In 2022, sales from our PYO Sunflowers were donated to Sobell House. In previous years we have also supported Riding for the Disabled (2021) and Barnardo’s (2020).
About Style Acre
Style Acre supports over 275 adults with learning disabilities and Autism in Oxfordshire. Our person-centred support ranges from 24-hour care for those with complex learning, health and or physical disabilities to a few hours support per week for those who live more independently. We provide an environment for the people we support to grow and develop in their own unique way, with the utmost dignity. Where people with learning disabilities and Autism are valued as equals and given every opportunity to fulfil their potential and live the life they choose.
The people we support are given the freedom and independence to live with peers in a supported environment through supported living households. We also run three community hubs in Wallingford, Didcot and Banbury so that people with learning disabilities can get the best out of their local communities. People can also access sessions at Wantage Market Garden through our Gardening Project, where we teach a range of gardening skills that benefit physical and mental health. Our Work Programme supports people to gain paid and voluntary work opportunities both within Style Acre and our social enterprises and with local companies.

Our popular Pick Your Own Pumpkins will be back this Autumn, including our new event ‘Pick Your Own by Torchlight’ which will be back for a second year. Full details about our pumpkin patch and other Halloween events will be coming later this year.
