Compassionate Gardeners

VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES WITH ST COLUMBA’S

Did you know our team of Compassionate Gardeners make an immediate and heartwarming impact on the lives of those living at home with an end-of-life diagnosis who yearn to spend precious time in their much-loved gardens.

Coming alongside the garden owners, our green fingered volunteers offer a little deserved TLC to help restore the loveliness of the garden and by doing so often greatly add to the sense of wellbeing of the garden owner and often the volunteer too.

As one of our volunteers recently laughed ‘as I work in the garden, the garden works on me too!’

By offering two hours once a fortnight volunteers can really make the world of a difference to someone living with a palliative condition and also share the joy of gardening.
