I miss my garden...
 I was a keen gardener until I took I'll several years ago with a serious illness, that there's no cure and I'm in chronic pain and  no energy.

I grew it from scratch myself every plant and even a patch.its a country garden .its now become widely overgrown,the hedge is too tall.

As I'm on benefits I can't afford the work I need. I've no access anymore as it's got steps. Is there any help?

    Hi there,

    Also try Gardening for Disabled Trust who might be able to help with a grant for the work you need doing http://gardeningfordisabledtrust.org.uk/

    Try an internet search of 'Garden Assistance Scheme' in the area you live in, this will bring up any local services available.

    I hope this is helpful and that you're able to find some help with your garden.

    Best wishes
    Debbie
