Gardening Volunteer at National Autistic Society services (Weston Super Mare)
National Autistic Society
Do you have gardening skills to help with keeping our garden neat and tidy?
The majority of the gardening will be at our allotments which is off site and we also have a small outside space at our centre. This is a weather dependent role and activities may need to be adapted to indoor sessions if the weather is very wet or very hot. We would like you to have some experience in Horticulture/gardening to help us develop and grown our garden.
