Community Connect Gardening

Our Community Connect Gardening program assists residents in the Warringah, Manly and Pittwater areas who are frail aged or people with a disability and their carers by providing an affordable gardening service as well as advice on how to plan a low maintenance easy care garden.  This program is funded by NSW Department of Human Services, Ageing Disability and Home Care (ADHC) through the Home and Community Care (HACC) program.

Under the supervision of our qualified horticulturalist and his professional staff, over 105 trained and dedicated volunteers work in teams of between 2 to 20 throughout our 6 day week to create more manageable and safer garden environments to help our clients remain in their own homes.
