Summary

As a Volunteer Gardener, I am responsible for helping to maintain and enhance the aesthetic appeal of various community Centre gardens. My duties included keeping the grounds clean, getting the flower beds ready for planting, hedge cutting, and grass trimming, as well as ensuring the overall health and vitality of the garden environment. I collaborated with other volunteers to plan and execute garden projects, provided guidance to new volunteers, and participated in community events to promote environmental awareness. Additionally, I helped to manage garden supplies and equipment, ensuring that all tools were properly maintained and stored. My role required a keen eye for detail, a strong work ethic, and a passion for horticulture and community service.
