Bulwell care home embraces flower power
Residents at Barchester Hall Park care home in Bulwell celebrated International Flower Day which took place on January 19.
International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people.
From growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty – flowers have the power to make someone’s day.
Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day including a flower arranging competition, reminiscing about their gardens/flowers in the home’s garden, which everyone really enjoyed.
Their collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.
Jodie Rakhra, General Manager at Hall Park care home said: “Our garden is a much-loved space, residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers and watching them grow and change through the seasons.
"We don’t have many flowers at the moment so our residents very much enjoying the escapism of virtually visiting some of the most famous gardens in the world.”
