Cheltenham Borough Homes Gardening Assistance Scheme

Back in 2013, Cheltenham Borough Homes were looking at ways of supporting their tenants who struggled to keep their gardens tidy. They heard about the Stroud District Council subsidised scheme and we were contacted to setting up a similar scheme for Cheltenham tenants. Cheltenham Borough Homes Gardening Assistance Scheme became operational in April 2015.

Down to Earth Stroud has a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with Cheltenham Borough Homes (CBH) to deliver a subsidised Gardening Assistance Scheme. In this scheme, council tenants who cannot maintain their own gardens because of ill health or old age, pay a small amount towards the work which the Housing scheme subsidises creating an hourly rate for our gardeners. We currently have many tenants on our books and have met some wonderful people. It’s been a great delight to be able to work with CBH on this project.

Up to 10 hours of gardening maintenance per property per year is available. Eligibility criteria applies. To find out more or to apply, contact us here:
