Easy Care Gardening is a recognised charity under the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission.
We are a not-for-profit organisation that relies on volunteers to ensure our work in the community can continue. Whilst we do receive funding from the Commonwealth Government, it is not sufficient to cover all our administrative costs and the purchase of new tools and equipment.
By donating to Easy Care Gardening you are supporting our work in enabling older Australians to maintain safe and sustainable gardens at home, living fulfilled lives at home for longer.

March: Earth Hour, Challenge 60
Switch off and get active in nature to power-up your commitment to a sustainable future for the Earth.
Throughout the month of March, Easy Care Gardening will be welcoming submissions from volunteers and clients who wish to register how they spent 60+ minutes towards making a positive impact for our community and our planet. Bring someone new to the garden to volunteer for 60+ minutes or spend 60+ minutes collecting brown waste for compost. You could also show us what you did to pass the time during Earth Hour as you switch off your electricity.
The volunteer team with the most creative submissions will receive a team lunch valued at $350. The first 100 volunteers and clients to make a submission will receive a $20 Coles voucher and additionally, anyone who signs on a new ECG volunteer will receive a $50 Coles voucher**.
To participate register the details of your 60+ minutes of activity by clicking the link below.
** Terms & Conditions apply. See Registration form for more information.
