"Greenfingers is a fantastic oasis. I work alongside service users who need encouragement and maybe some advice to get the most out of their day. I love to see the progress the users make and the skills they learn. There is a friendly welcome for everyone and we always have fun.”

"It gets me out of the house, doing something that I enjoy, working with everyone, meeting customers that come and buy our plants. I feel like we are part of the local community and I enjoy meeting and talking to people. I also help at plant sales, helping the customers park their cars."

"I like coming to Greenfingers, as a volunteer. It helps me with my paranoia, working with people that don’t judge me and being part of the Greenfingers community."

"I love coming to the project, meeting new friends, seeing the people that come there really enjoying the work and getting so much out of it, and laughing a lot."

"From the word go I was impressed by project: everyone is very friendly and welcoming; the scale of the allotment is impressive; and the work is varied and interesting. I have learnt a lot about gardening, made some good friends and hopefully contributed to this fantastic project."

"I decided to volunteer to help others but benefit so much myself. The people there are very kind and compassionate. It is a lovely atmosphere and I feel calm and happy there."
