HOMEOWNERS are being asked to donate their gardens to aid a scheme which helps unemployed people blossom.
Dig Deep is an initiative which helps unemployed residents of Gloucester gain valuable skills.

Currently there are six volunteers with skills in building, landscaping carpentry and decorating.
Paul Stepney, project coordinator, said: “The team would like to transfer someone’s garden into what they would like, individual or community garden.
“The garden tasks need to include a selection of jobs such as clearance work, decking, laying a patio, foundation preparation, turf laying or grass seeding, selecting and arranging, winter resistant shrubbery, block-paved drive ways, walls , fencing, shed construction or repairs.”
All the homeowner has to provide is the materials, coffee, tea, access to toilets and a donation which covers volunteer expenses.
