Supportive Living, Inc. is seeking enthusiastic gardeners to help us maintain the beautiful gardens at our Lexington, MA facility. Located in the historic downtown, our perennial and vegetable gardens offer a serene, healing environment to the residents, who are living with chronic brain damage they may have acquired through an accident, injury, stroke or other cause. The raised vegetable beds provide healthy fresh vegetables, while the flower gardens (including a shade garden, rock garden, and sunny mixed perennial beds) offer recrecreation and relaxation to residents and visitors. We would like our gardener volunteers to commit to a couple hours each week, at their own convenience, during the summer and fall to help us keep up with watering, weeding, deadheading, pruning, and other garden chores.
