Residents and colleagues at Thames View Care Home in Thames Ditton came together to spruce up their outdoor spaces as part of our nationwide annual campaign Aria in Bloom.
We had a wonderful day planting in our raised beds, tidying and potting flowers in our amazing grounds that overlook the River Thames in preparation for the summer. The sun was shining and the results were truly impressive.
As part of RHS National Gardening Week taking place in May, it was a great opportunity for us to get involved in the Big Seed Sow initiative, a community-growing campaign designed to get communities, groups and individuals sowing and sharing seeds. This year we planted Californian Poppy and Love-Lies-Bleeding seeds.
Home Manager Paul Fenech commented on the success of Aria in Bloom, “Thank you to everyone who helped. The support and enthusiasm from everyone involved have truly made a difference in enhancing our outdoor spaces.”
The winning home and runners up will be chosen in the next few weeks when the plants and flowers have bloomed and the results can be seen in full effect.
Thames View Care Home provides residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent or short stay basis. For more information or to arrange a tour of the home, call the friendly team on 0808 223 5406.
