Stone Cross care home embraces National Gardening Week

Residents at Sycamore Grove in Stone Cross celebrated National Gardening Week which took place from 27 April - 3 May. Ever since it was first celebrated in 2012, National Gardening Week has grown in popularity, the week raises awareness of the difference gardens and gardening can make to everyone’s lives and helps to inspire people to experience the joy of growing and creating beautiful green spaces.

The focus for this year’s National Gardening Week is on ‘getting curious’ in the garden.  The week aims to get people to slow down, look closer, deepen their connection with outdoor spaces and discover the small wonders of nature.

Residents, staff and volunteers took part in the week getting our garden ready for the summer.

Natasha King General Manager at Sycamore Grove said: “Our garden is a much-loved space, residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers, watching them grow and change through the seasons.  May is such a fantastic time to be outside enjoying the garden, many of our flowers are coming into bloom now.”
