🌱✨ Growing Together at Hellenic Community Aged Care ✨🌱
Our gardens are truly flourishing thanks to our incredible onsite gardeners, Petros and Sharon, whose creativity and care have brought our outdoor spaces to life with beautiful landscaping and vibrant floral displays. And now, Sharon has taken things one step further — launching a wonderful new Gardening Club for our residents!
At last week’s inaugural session, residents got hands-on planting their very own herb seedlings. From gently digging into the soil, to carefully potting their plants and giving them a light watering, the joy of gardening was felt by all. 🌿
The session sparked lively discussions about the best pot sizes for thriving coriander and parsley, as well as tips on fertilisers — and we were delighted to hear from residents who generously shared their expertise. One former local market gardener and another resident with farming experience offered invaluable insights, enriching the group with their years of knowledge and passion.
Beyond the practical tips, the club also blossomed into beautiful conversations about past gardens, favourite plants, and cherished memories.
We’re so proud of Sharon for bringing this initiative to life and can’t wait to see our Gardening Club — and our residents’ herb gardens — continue to grow! 🌼💚
