The Oaks and Little Oaks care home on London Road, Balderton, launches pocket garden competition
A care home in Balderton is inviting the public to test out their green fingers by holding a pocket garden competition.
The competition will be judged by residents of the Four Seasons The Oaks and Little Oaks care home on London Road and horticulturalists from Liz’s Garden Centre, with a £200 cash prize.
Resident Trevor Brown, 87, said: “Gardening and the outdoors has always been a passion of mine and while I don’t do much of it these days, it still brings me joy to see a beautiful garden — especially when I don’t have to weed it myself.”
Katrina Rick, the home’s manager, said: “Events like these help to connect our residents to the wider community, as well as refresh their passion for hobbies they enjoy.
To enter, send a photo of your pocket garden to jean.davison@fshcgroup.com quoting ‘The Oaks and Little Oaks’ in your email.
The competition closes to entries on July 31.
