About the role
Use your green thumb to brighten someone’s day.
Spend meaningful time with older people while enjoying the simple pleasures of gardening. As a Volunteer Gardening Companion, you'll help residents participate in enjoyable, hands-on gardening activities that many have loved throughout their lives.
Whether you're planting seedlings in raised garden beds, watering herbs and flowers or simply chatting in the sunshine, you'll help create moments of purpose, connection and joy. For many residents, gardening sparks happy memories, encourages conversation, and offers a rewarding way to stay engaged with nature.
You might support a small group gardening activity or spend one-on-one time with a resident, sharing stories, laughter and a sense of accomplishment as plants grow and flourish.
We provide support and the activities are simple and enjoyable. All you need is a friendly nature, patience, and a willingness to connect with older people and brighten their day.
- When: Weekly or Fortnightly for one hour or more depending on your availability.
- Days: Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday Morning (between 930-11:30am)
Your impact
Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
