Garden Angels is a project run by women for women but as we grow it will also be including the wider communities we serve. Garden Angels volunteer to clear and tidy women's gardens so they can have a open peaceful place to be outside. It is a proven fact that fresh air makes you feel happier and if we can encourage women to also try to do some gardening then that will make them feel even better.
Garden Angels first project was helping the residents staff and families to change a drab courtyard into a fab courtyard and we've certainly done that - Take a look for yourself at the amazing transformation. However you can also see other projects we’ve done below and we always enjoy showing our progress via our face book page so please go to the link via 'Our Facebook' along the top of this page to see the work we have done to date.
This is proving to be an amazing project for local women to become part of and the results have been fantastic too. The difference its made to all the Garden Angels has been incredible. We don't ask why you want to volunteer with us, that doesn't matter to us, all we ask is you join in openly to help create beautiful places for other women to benefit from. You don't need to know anything about plants or have done gardening before, again that doesn't matter. You will soon discover by simply being around other women doing something good can really help your smile come back onto your face.
If you think you’d like to join either our Lowestoft - Beccles or Kessingland Garden Angel teams then simply drop us a line either by e-mail or message us on Facebook. It really is a great way to spend your time. Or if you are a women who needs their garden straightened out again get in touch and hopefully the Garden Angels can fly in and help.
