Back Garden Project
1st September 2011 the residents and staff came together to work in the back garden of the care home. Thanks to Claire, one of our life skills worker, and her team of staff and residents for their hard work. We’re grateful to the TW Round Table for their gift of £989 of which a third has been allocated to this garden and £240 from the Coffee Morning fund-raising. A further £350 given by Gardening for Disabled will be used for additional projects.

On a warm and pleasant late-summer’s day, mowing the garden can be hard work but rewarding.
