Gardener

Volunteer to help us maintain our beautiful gardens

Our patients and their visitors find it peaceful and tranquil to be able to look out at our beautiful gardens or take a walk in the grounds.

Are you interested in gardening or have some knowledge of plants? Are you physically fit and flexible to work in variable weather conditions for a few hours a week or more? If so, please register to join our grounds team. Tasks may include weeding, pruning, planting, watering and tidying.

Hours available

A few hours a week would be perfect, on weekdays between 10am and 4pm. We’l make sure you get a cuppa and refreshments too!
