This year HC-One’s annual Gardening Competition saw a number of outstanding creations submitted from across its care homes in the UK. This year’s Gardening Competition has been even more significant in bringing joy and excitement to Residents and Colleagues, during what has been a difficult time for everyone due to the coronavirus pandemic.
This year’s green fingers award category winner, who are Residents living in the care home, are:
Francine McCardle and Gil Partington, Rose Court Care Home
Francine and Gil prepared colourful flower pots for the garden which are blooming and on display on the driveway up to the home’s car park. They both had fun and enjoyed participating in the gardening project. Francine enjoys taking part in gardening activities, inputs into any discussions involving the garden area, has a keen eye for design and detail and takes pleasure in keeping the flowers watered and weeded. Gil likes spending time in the garden, assisting with planting flowers and socialising with other Residents.
The judges of the HC-One Gardening Competition were incredibly grateful to all entrants for taking part and were especially impressed with this year’s prize winners. HC-One has had a great success with this year’s Gardening Competition and look forward to running the Gardening Competition in subsequent years to come.
