Do you enjoy being outdoors, getting your hands dirty, and helping things grow?

Join SeeAbility as a Gardening Volunteer and support people with learning disabilities, autism, and sight loss to enjoy gardening, nature, and time outdoors.

Whether you’re green-fingered or simply enjoy a bit of fresh air and teamwork. 

This is a fun and rewarding way to make a real difference.

What You Will Be Doing As a Gardening Volunteer

Supporting people to enjoy gardening activities and outdoor spaces.

This could include the following :

• Planting flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables

• Watering plants and helping keep gardens tidy

• Supporting people to enjoy sensory gardening activities

• Sharing conversation, laughter, and time outdoors

• Encouraging creativity, confidence, and independence

• Helping create welcoming and enjoyable garden spaces

You do not need to be a gardening expert — just be enthusiastic, patient, and happy to get involved.

The Difference You Will Make

Gardening can improve well being, reduce stress, build confidence, and create opportunities for social connection.

Your support could help someone:

• Feel calm and relaxed outdoors

• Build confidence and learn new skills

• Enjoy sensory experiences and nature

• Feel included and connected

• Take pride in growing and caring for plants, 

 Sometimes, planting a seed together can grow much more than flowers — it can grow confidence, friendship, and joy.
