Garden Volunteer - Newtongrange, United Kingdom - Penumbra
Description
Role: Garden Volunteer
Service: Park Cottage - Midlothian
Working hours: Hours that suit applicant
If you're looking for a volunteering opportunity within an inspirational team that really does make a difference to people's lives, this is your opportunity to join our volunteer team at Park Cottage – Midlothian.
Park Cottage supports the people of Midlothian by providing a safe and empathetic space for people to stay for a period of recovery.
Our passion is recovery focus through person centered care, and we are looking for a volunteer to help us establish and maintain our garden so we can use it to connect the people we support with nature.
We are currently looking for someone with an interest in gardening. No professional experience is required. We do however have 2 large gardens which are desperate for some love and attention. The gardens would benefit from some grass cutting, weeding, planting new flowers and we would love a new veggie patch to grow our own house produce. There will also be help from our amazing staff and the people we support but they may at times need a guiding hand. A green fingered leader if you will show us the way If you think this could be you, we would love to hear from you.
There is no minimum or maximum hours in the role, Park Cottage is open everyday and staffed until 22:30 every night. There is also no upper age limit for this role.
If you are a keen gardener with a few spare hours or someone who has no access to their own garden and wants to reconnect with a passion, we may be what you are looking for. We would love to have a garden to be proud of and somewhere the people who use our service can spend time in to reflect and recover.
