Three men from Bridgend have decided to take on the challenge of sorting people's gardens out if they have got out of hand. Ian Walters, Gavin Harvey and Paul Lewis have come together to give the Bridgend community a chance to ask for help by transforming their gardens completely free of charge.
Their services, known as Greenspace SOS, will all be free and will be aimed at people who have faced physical barriers that have stopped them from being able to make their most of their gardens, like elderly residents, but also for those who have just not had the time or energy to spend on giving their outdoor spaces some much-needed TLC. They all come from a business background, but feel now is the time to embrace the simplicity of local gardening.
The project was meant to be in the works for a few more months and launch in October, but as summer came closer Ian became intent on rolling the scheme out even sooner. The response so far has been overwhelming for the group of men involved, as they have had countless people sending messages of support. "We weren't expecting it to get this level of response," Ian said.
