Creating Great Spaces

People at our latest Community Living Project see their garden ideas develop

After gathering ideas from staff and people living at our latest Community Living Project, creative juices got flowing today and the gardeners and landscapers from greenerdesigns.co.uk continued their transformation of the garden, putting those ideas into reality. A new pond has been scoped out and updating the space into an orchard and kitchen garden is well underway. Check out the before and after pictures, which include an old tree stump transformed into a lovely bird table.

People living and working at the project have suggested painting the new orchard area with individualised designs themselves!

Just pond plants, a polytunnel and more veggie and herb planting to go!

Great suggestions from people at the project:

Today, our residents were in for a special treat when a little puppy named Teddy paid us a visit! With his soft fur, big eyes, and wagging tail, Teddy quickly won the hearts of everyone in the room, bringing a wave of joy and comfort to our residents. For many of our residents, it’s been a while since they’ve had the company of a furry friend, and Teddy’s playful energy was a breath of fresh air. As he trotted around, curious and excited, many of our residents couldn't help but smile and reach out to pet him. The simple act of stroking his soft fur seemed to lift their spirits and spark memories of their own beloved pets from years ago.
