OLD Sarum Garden Centre will close to the public over the next few months as it undergoes improvement works.

The garden centre on The Portway, run by Salisbury charity Alabaré, will close tomorrow (August 1).

It will continue to operate as a development centre for Alabaré to support adults with learning disabilities through meaningful day activities and vocational training.

During the closure period, the centre will undergo a behind-the-scenes transformation with some improvements made on-site for accessibility, training spaces and outdoor facilities.

Gina Hackett, Alabaré’s head of service for learning disabilities, said: “We’re taking the opportunity over the next few months to refresh and revamp our Old Sarum Development Centre, and feel it’s best to do that internally, and with the needs of our client base at heart.

“The development centre is a hugely important part of our work, supporting people with learning disabilities to live a fulfilling life, and we’re keen to ensure that the site is perfectly placed to deliver that.

“The aim is to reopen to customers at a later date, with a fresh new look and renewed focus.”
