Do you have a green thumb? Or maybe you just have some experience in how to tend a small garden?
Volunteers have many skills and life experiences that can help our residents with managing their plants or gardens and assist with gardening groups.
Gardening is more than just a hobby for our residents, it is an activity that boosts their social, mental and physical well-being and supports them with a healthy ageing approach to care. This is why volunteers with a little gardening experience can make such a difference.
We want to hear from you Let us know if you have any skills or experiences that you think would benefit our residents.
**Time required**:
Our Gardening Group is held every Tuesday afternoon 2:00pm to 3:30pm.
