No Garden? No Problem!
Can’t Garden? Find someone who can
Join the Lend and Tend garden-sharing community if you have a garden you’d love some help with or if you’d love to garden but don’t have access to gardening space.
With kindness to nature and our neighbours we can create beautiful, biodiverse, and productive gardens when we share.

“My grandad loves this idea, an avid gardener but he’s now in a wheelchair. Now he can enjoy his garden again whilst someone else helps. My grandad’s in Essex, so I’m gonna do it a bit nearer to where I live, get a bit healthier, increase the salad in my life…hopefully.”
From our community:
“I have a garden and never have the time or money to make it come in to fruition...what a great idea”
“What with the allotment list being never-ending, it’s 2 miles away from where I live anyway. I love having somewhere to grow at the end of my road”
“This is a win win situation! I have a garden that needs doing and there is someone nearby that wants to do it? Be my guest!”
How Does it work?

Register for free to Lend your garden or Tend to someone else's.
If you wish, you can pay £12 to be a Featured Garden(er) for more exposure.
Unlock the potential of your garden or get your hands dirty.
When a suitable Lender or Tender is available, we’ll introduce you to garden-share. After connecting, to confirm your match, you’ll need to spend a Patch-Match token.
You can purchase a Patch-Match token (£12)* at any time, either when you register, or when you’re matched, it’s up to you.
(*We hope you’ll love your Lender or Tender, but if for any reason you need a re-match, subsequent Patch-Matches cost £12 thereafter if needed)
