Garden maintenance scheme for older people

The garden maintenance scheme, operated by Voluntary Action Epping Forest (VAEF), helps those who cannot cope with their gardens and have no one to help.

Tenants will only be considered for the scheme

  • If there is no one physically able under the age of 70, living at the property
  • Tenants in rent arrears are not eligible
  • Tenants with a disability can be included on the scheme provided they receive certain benefits relating to their disability

Gardens are maintained on a 4 to 6 weekly basis following an assessment by the coordinator.
