    Description

    Cultivate the soil and nurture the lives of others. The beauty and serenity of a garden can be a source of peace and relaxation to terminally ill patients and their families. VITAS Healthcare (r) is looking for volunteers with green thumbs to maintain the garden at our inpatient hospice unit.

    As a gardening volunteer, you will help with general maintenance such as weeding, pruning, and planting. Previous horticulture experience of any sort is a bonus, but is not a requirement.

    Schedules are made according to the volunteer’s preferences.

    Please contact Jennifer Lindsay / Jennifer.Lindsay1@Vitas.com
