A paid supervisor co-ordinates the scheme and supports a team of volunteers
who go out one or two days a week from March to November to tidy people's
gardens when they cannot maintain their own. The majority of scheme users
are elderly and really appreciate the service.
"It's really worthwhile doing, especially for older people as overgrown gardens really play on their minds."
"My husband and I want to express our gratitude for the excellent work your team did for us and for the cheerful, friendly way in which it was done."
"Fantastically useful to the community and a great pleasure for those
who can't do it themselves anymore. Perfect for anyone who loves
playing around in the garden!"
