Firtree House care home in Tunbridge Wells has been named as a runner up in Aria Care’s summer gardening competition.
Aria Care launched the initiative, Aria in Bloom, last year to create sustainable, welcoming and enjoyable outdoor spaces for residents.
Firtree House Nursing Home was chosen as runner up, earning the home a £100 voucher. Residents, colleagues, and local community joined forces to transform the care home into a vibrant oasis.
The competition was a tremendous success, with all 50 communities participating, creating beautiful, inviting environments for their residents, showcasing truly impressive results.
Firtree House’s garden saw a remarkable transformation through the collective efforts of the team, residents, and local community. New planters and hanging baskets now brighten the space, creating a cheerful atmosphere.
Home Manager Jackie Cullip expressed her joy, “this was a wonderful opportunity for everyone to come together to contribute to making our garden look wonderful. Thank you to everyone who came and gave their time in supporting us. I am very privileged and proud to have a great team and friends in the community.”
