Gardening for Mrs J (wk 3)

Carers Support Centre have asked us to help Mrs J, who is a carer for her husband who has dementia and is now unable to leave the family home. She would really find it helpful if someone could come over to prune the roses, sweep leaves, and do some weeding so it looks nicer for the couple to look out at. Mrs J has all the equipment and a green waste bin. This is the back garden, accessible via a side gate.

Having some garden tidying done would make a big difference for the carer and her husband. Since her husband is now housebound and living with dementia, both are unable to maintain the garden themselves. A tidy garden would offer them a beautiful and calming view from inside their home, providing a sense of peace and connection to nature as the seasons change. This simple improvement could greatly enhance their emotional well-being, offering moments of joy and comfort in what can otherwise be a challenging daily life. For the carer, it would also relieve some of the physical and mental burden, allowing her to focus more on caring for her husband without added stress.

GoodGym has listed this mission for 1 to 3 GoodGymers. Two GoodGymers can attend together, but the mission will still go ahead with just one if only one person signs up by the deadline. If you would prefer not to attend this task on your own, please email missioncontrol@goodgym.org as soon as possible. We will then make sure the task isn’t confirmed unless a second GoodGymer is also available to join you.
