Would you like to learn about plants and gardening?
Befriending / Visiting volunteer needed for ENRYCH Berkshire
Our volunteers support and enable people with a physical disability to take up, or return to, a hobby, interest, sporting activity or learning opportunity which they cannot do without some help or support. This support is mainly about giving confidence, understanding and emotional support to bring colour to our members’ lives.
Would you like to learn about plants and gardening?
This lady has landscaped and planted out a lovely garden but she is not physically able to do as much as she used to with it so is looking for a keen volunteer who would help her with some of the heavier tasks in the garden.
She is extremely knowledgeable about plants and is happy to share her knowledge with an interested volunteer.
No previous knowledge of gardening is required just a willingness to learn and some muscle!
