Community Garden Maintenance is a free service I provide to help vulnerable people in our community who are struggling to manage their gardens or outdoor spaces.

People can find garden maintenance difficult because of illness, disability, mobility challenges, mental health difficulties, financial hardship, social isolation, or simply not having enough support around them.

But this service is about more than gardening. It’s about showing people that they matter.

By giving someone a helping hand with their garden, I hope to make life a little easier, restore a sense of pride in their home, and let them know that their community cares.

​

Referrals

I welcome referrals from not-for-profit organisations, charities, community organisations and healthcare professionals who identify someone who could benefit from practical help with their garden.

The aim is to help create outdoor spaces that are safer, more manageable and welcoming, while supporting the wellbeing and dignity of the person living there.

​

A helping hand, at no cost

There is no charge to the person being supported or to the referring organisation.

I provide this service as a volunteer, with some generous support from sponsors who have helped with donations and resources.

I use gardening to help people — because sometimes a helping hand is about much more than the garden.

To make this sustainable long term, please see the page 'How You Can Help'.
