Our new garden project – it looks beautiful in the sunshine!

Our gardens look beautiful in the sunshine! Thanks to fundraising events and donations we have been able to refurbish our summerhouse, the decking, planters and create beautiful new planting and flowerbed schemes. The hanging baskets and window planters are a riot of colour, and we have a new rose garden, garden seat, gorgeous plant pots and shady parasols to ensure our residents are kept cool in the hottest of weather. Colin, John, Gladys, Margaret, Alan and Eric enjoyed their coffee outside last week and told us that they loved the new colour of the summerhouse, the beautiful flowers around the seating area and they thought the hanging baskets were “really gorgeous”. It makes such a difference to the appearance of Charlotte Straker House and we’ve found that it’s encouraged more of our residents to go outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Thank you to our gardeners and volunteers who work hard to keep our gardens beautiful.
