It was satisfying to spend time restoring Mr J’s front garden to a tidy state and even better to see the smile on his face once the bindweed and litter had been cleared. Mr J explained that, previously, he had felt his spirits sink each time he went outside as he had been unable himself to tackle the work needed due to a painful disability. Now he says he feels motivated to get a bit of welcome exercise and fresh air doing occasional light gardening to keep everything neat. And with his fence no longer choked by weeds, he can arrange for it to be repaired.
