Experienced Gardener for House on the Hill Felling

Age UK Gateshead provides our clients with access to exceptional facilities across multiple sites, and one of the key facilities we have, especially in the hotter summer months, is our lovely garden area at House on the Hill in Felling. The garden is fairly large, and provides a pleasant space for our dementia daycentre clients to relax in the sun with a nice cup of tea and a couple biscuits.

With that in mind, we would like a couple volunteer gardeners to help us maintain, and tend to our garden so we can continue to provide the best possible service we can! The role would be completely flexible with regards to when you help out, and for how long. The only key requirement is a decent understanding of plant work, and that you can tell the difference between weeds and flowers.
