🌻 Light Gardening with Patients in Riverglen - Older Person's Mental Health Care at Macquarie Hospital 🌻

 

Engage patients in simple planting and nurturing of seedlings in raised garden beds 

Connect with patients in our Older Persons’ Mental Health unit at North Ryde while brightening up our new garden.  As a volunteer, you will offer companionship and gently encourage participation in some planting, watering and/or weeding in the raised garden beds.  You will spend time with the patients, be a good listener, and enjoy social engagement. 

This role is all about kindness, presence, and the power of sharing a creative task. It’s a lovely way to brighten someone’s day and help them to connect with you, and with nature. 

Your impact

Volunteering as a social visitor can be a rewarding experience, both for the person you visit as well as yourself. Regular visits from volunteers can help to improve quality of life and help people feel less isolated.
