Gardening

Our Volunteer Task Force (VTF) gardening service aims to keep gardens and yards safe and manageable. This service assists clients to remain independent.

Paid Volunteer Task Force gardening coordinators and volunteers can help clients with the following:

• prune small trees and remove the created green waste
• small amounts of hand weeding or weed spraying
• raking and whipper snipping
• cutting back bigger bushes and trees from ground level (not over 5 m)
• general yard tidy-up
• lawn mowing

Our gardening teams visit once every two or three months. Some areas have a waiting time.

Are you eligible?

All new clients are assessed for eligibility. VTF Services are available to people with an ongoing medical condition or disability who are on a pension and living in their own home.

Clients cover the cost of garden supplies, such as mulch, as agreed before the job begins. There is also a cost for the service which will be discussed with you on assessment.
