Companion Gardening
Sutherland Shire
Companion Gardening is about more than tending plants — it’s about sharing time, conversation, and gentle purpose in the garden.
This service is designed for people who enjoy being outdoors and involved in their garden, but may need a bit of extra support. That might be due to age, mobility, health, or simply wanting company while working in the garden.
During a Companion Gardening visit, we spend time together in the garden — tending, planting, pottering, or simply being outside. You’re involved as much or as little as you’d like. I take care of the heavier or more physically demanding tasks, while you take part in ways that feel comfortable and enjoyable.
There’s no pressure to “get things done” or meet a particular outcome. Some days might be productive, others might be slower — with time for a cup of tea, conversation, or simply being in the garden together.
This service is about connection, gentle movement, and maintaining a sense of purpose through shared time in nature.
