Gardener

Each project has been given a budget to transform the garden at their property. Although we want this group to be client led, we recognise that someone who can take an organisational lead is essential to it working. Someone who can mediate different client wants and needs to create a garden all residents want to use and be part of the process. This will incorporate planning and budgeting for the garden project.

What will I be doing?

Helping the residents to tend to and maintain the garden independently

Duties could include - weeding, planting, pruning and other general gardening activities

To purchase plants, equipment needed within the budget

Help the group understand planning a garden

Help the group understand how to maintain a budget and use funds well
