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?

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
