This year HC-One’s annual Gardening Competition saw a number of outstanding creations submitted from across its care homes in the UK. This year’s Gardening Competition has been even more significant in bringing joy and excitement to Residents and Colleagues, during what has been a difficult time for everyone due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This year’s green fingers award category winner, who is a Resident living in the care home is:
Joan Mullin, Cedar House Care Home
Joan created her own outdoor vegetable garden including peppers and a herb garden to use for savoury or aromatic purposes. She also helped to plant hanging baskets and enjoyed taking care of the garden by watering and pruning the plants, as well as general tidying of the garden each day to ensure it is kept looking nice.
The judges of the HC-One Gardening Competition were incredibly grateful to all entrants for taking part and were especially impressed with this year’s prize winners. HC-One has had a great success with this year’s Gardening Competition and look forward to running the Gardening Competition in subsequent years to come.
