Last week, we shared all Joanne's hard work keeping our residential gardens tidy. 🍃
We're proud of how confident she's become as a gardener, enjoying growing her own veggies and herbs and even helping with Sunday dinner.
Joanne's new skills meant that she could contribute in a new way to Sunday dinner - the mint sauce was completely her own, home-grown from her little garden.🌿
