Claire Holloway has been carefully tending to the gardens at the MND NSW office in Gladesville for over 2 years now.
She began volunteering for us in 2022 after noticing our grounds needed some care and attention.
"I love being outdoors and was looking for a project when I noticed the garden outside the MND NSW office needed a little TLC after all the COVID lockdowns. This is a lovely garden to work on and the bird life around is gorgeous," Claire said.
"I think it is important to give back to the community and keeping a lovely garden going is a great way to do that," she said.
Meeting people is one of the highlights of her volunteering experience at MND NSW, as well as the flora and fauna she encounters.
"The garden and the area around it is a beautiful place to work. I love meeting the people that work there as well as all the dog walkers, walkers and other people that pass by," Claire said.
"There is also so much wild life around here. The birds alone are amazing and do enjoy our little birdbath we have added. For someone who lives in a unit with no garden this is a lovely retreat and great therapy to help relax."
Claire loves volunteering for us, and would encourage others to do the same.
"This is a great organisation that does great work and needs and appreciates any help anyone can give," she said.
