Hi,

Do you live in social housing? If you do get in touch with them and see if they a scheme like ours.

We have our gardening done for us as we live in a housing association adapted property, before they were our landlord the local council (Manchester) did the same. They only do the garden twice a year but it helps a lot and they also do the hedges.

Our local SS keep a list of volunteer gardeners for people who need help mowing the lawn etc - gardening is a service which they specifically won't allow you to purchase out of any support budget.

Also google for your local home improvement agency, usually attached to the council. They are a charity and they often have a subsidised gardening service, along with a handyperson service and others.

Also try local social charities, many offer a volunteer service to match small jobs that need doing with people that can't physically do them themselves. Otherwise as per post 2 Age concern do quite a lot of this sort of jobs for people for a fee.

Sometimes the local council will help, depends on the area. There's also the Scouts and other such organisations. You could also try Community Payback.

What about putting an ad card in local shops asking for a "gardener "to cut ur grass for you bet there are loads of teenagers who are willing to do it for a price of course;)

If you lived near by I do it for free. Some areas have volunteers that will do this maybe ask around in your area
