Arthur a Resident at Bankwood care home in Belper, Derbyshire, has been helping out in the garden growing lots of vegetables.
As the weather has been so lovely recently, Residents at the residential and nursing care home have been spending much more time in the garden.
It has been a great opportunity for Residents to get together and work on the garden by planting lots of vegetables.
Arthur who loves to garden has been helping nearly every day and keeping an eye on the courgettes he planted with the help form some of the staff. He is very proud as one of the courgettes has grown so big!
