Research shows that having an unkempt garden can increase the likelihood of a house being broken into or vandalised. Not only does this help residents against this, it is also a preventative to unnecessary hospital visits as unkempt gardens can cause trips or falls. It also gives vulnerable residents the chance to reap the health and wellbeing benefits of being outdoors.

During our visit, gardening work is completed by a team of volunteers recruited from the local community, who are supported by a Supervisor. Normally we would have three or four people tending to your garden at any one time, but naturally this does depend on the number of volunteers who are available to help during the particular visit.

We have a disclaimer notice you can read HERE.

We do ask for a donation towards our daily costs (which have risen significantly over the past year to £179 per day). 

You are not expected to pay £179 – the suggested amount will be discussed with you at the time of your assessment.  This donation helps cover our fuel, office overheads, maintenance of the gardening equipment, staff costs, insurance, purchase of equipment and most importantly our volunteer expenses.
