What will I need to do?
Our garden volunteers play a vital role in transforming our hospice grounds into a vibrant and
welcoming haven where our families and children can play and make special memories. Dive

    new plants, trim and prune small shrubs, and observe your hard work.
  • Master of Tools: Command an array of equipment—from shearers to spades and rakes—
    like a seasoned pro, transforming the landscape with each stroke.
  • Battle of the Weeds: Battle unruly weeds, reclaiming the garden from their invasive grip
    and restoring order to the grounds.
  • Nourish and Flourish: Care for our botanical treasures, watering and tending to their
    health to ensure they thrive in their lush surroundings.
  • Transformative Touch: Sweep away debris and unveil the hidden beauty of our gardens,
    leaving behind an enchanting landscape that beckons all who pass.
  • Team Triumphs: Collaborate with others in creating new layouts for new plant additions or
    preparing for an event. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Will it suit me?
