And the award goes to... Joanne!🏆🍃
Joanne lives at one of our residential settings, and over the past several months has been investing time and energy into keeping the gardens neat, tidy and cared for.
She's also experimented with growing her own veggies and herbs, with some of her home-grown mint used to make mint sauce for a delicious Sunday dinner in service.
Joanne has been so excited to do more gardening, that she even offered to help with the gardens at our Whitegates respite service.
After joking that she didn't have a certificate for her hard work, we created one for her, presented by Claire, our Gardening Lead. 😁
Well done, Joanne! ⭐
