We are developing a sensory garden for our service and we need someone who can look after the plants and maintain the garden in good condition. We need someone to cut the grass because we have a very small patch of grass but our current gardeners come only on a monthly basis, so it tends to be overgrown. The volunteer could also put feed on for the birds in the bird feeders and baths and maybe help developing new sensory activities as well for the people we support in their garden.
Basic Gardening skills Garden design experience would be useful Communication skills Some experience of people who are non-verbal or have speech impairment and Autism would be good but not necessary as training can be provided
