Grimsby Residents spend sunny day planting watercressResidents at HC One’s Brooklands care home spent a sunny afternoon in the garden planting watercress.

Colleagues at the Grimsby care home received some plant pots and watercress from Unilever Food Solutions, so decided to share these out among Residents who wanted to join in.

It was a beautiful day, perfect for sitting out in the garden to put the plants into pots. It was lovely for Colleagues to chat with the Residents about how they used to look after their own gardens at home with their wives or husbands.

One Resident said they used to spend hours in the garden with her husband and children. Her favourite flowers were pansies, which she also planted in the home garden too.

Colleagues also handed out refreshments and ice lollies to help Residents keep cool. There was music playing too with some golden oldies including the Beach Boys and Cliff Richard. 
The afternoon brought back lovely memories for the Residents, it was a great day!
