BEDS GARDEN CARERS

Gardening

We operate the gardening project as a commercial garden maintenance company. We work as near as possible to a full working day. Project members are encouraged to keep regular hours and good timekeeping. They are expected to come suitably dressed for work, wet weather clothing, boots and gloves are provided. We have a wide range of contracts including hospitals, schools, churches, housing associations, commercial and private sites. The variety of sites and work brings our project members into contact with a wide range of people.

We offer project members the opportunity to attain a wide range of skills, including: mowing both with pedestrian and ride-on mowers, planting, pruning, hedge-cutting and all aspects of garden maintenance. When involved with garden design, construction skills such as fencing, turf laying and patio construction are also developed.

Our aim is to give our adults a taste of working life. This may not lead to a permanent job, but it will give an insight into what is expected of them in a real job. We offer work experience and a worthwhile fulfilling role within the community. The project gives them a secure work-based environment for as long as they require it. It gives them a sense of purpose and achievement, builds self-esteem whilst giving them the chance to discover and develop their own individual abilities.
