A visit to Dobbie’s Garden Centre

A group of our residents visited Dobbies Garden Centre in Ponteland last week accompanied by our volunteers, carers and a nurse.

Dobbie’s is always extremely kind and welcoming to our group visits and this time was no exception. We had a delicious lunch in the quieter part of the cafe, and then had a great time looking at the plants, flowers, fish and home wares.

Margaret said “I really enjoyed browsing through the clothes and accessories. I love looking at the new fashion and styles.” John and Colin spent time looking through the different plants and flowers for sale and Muriel said “I’m not buying anything in particular, it’s just lovely being out and about!”

Thank you to all our volunteers and members of staff who accompanied our residents plus the wonderful members of team at Dobbie’s – we’ll definitely be back later on in the year to see their famous Christmas displays.
