1 GoodGymer made their way to help an isolated older person in York.

Ms. P was not up to doing her gardening today due to her health. Instead we had a really lovely chat. She is an avid gardener and we spoke at length about her experiences gardening. She showed me the garden outside and explained what she had done with it over the years but she is not able to do so much of without assistance now. It is a shared garden which Ms. P has grown and nurtured over a number of years, investing lots of time and love into it so everyone can enjoy it.

Ms. P showed me some of the plants she has grown from seed (or leaf) including the angel wing shaped plant pictured.

We both really enjoyed talking to one another, and I learned a lot about gardening (which I'm really pants at). The outdoor garden has lots of beautiful plants to maintain and Ms P appreciated the opportunity to have a chat.

Thank you so much. Pauline loves her plants and I enjoy checking in with her to get some advice on how to take cuttings and keep my new collection of house plants alive. I do hope she feels able at some point to get outside!
