Gardening with Heart: Reviving Mrs H’s Green Haven
POSTED: 01/07/2024
At Heritage Healthcare Bristol, enabling our clients to continue enjoying their hobbies and interests is at the heart of the service we provide.
Overcoming Gardening Challenges
Mrs H has always taken great pride in maintaining her garden to a high standard. However, a recent decline in mobility made it challenging for her to keep up with the weeds and general upkeep. With summer on the horizon, she was eager to get her garden back in shape but felt overwhelmed by the task.
Green-Fingered Support
Enter Nadika, one of Mrs H’s regular carers and a passionate gardening enthusiast. Nadika, who has shared beautiful photos of her lush garden in Sri Lanka, was the perfect person to provide the green-fingered support Mrs H needed.
Teamwork in Action
Nadika tackled the weeds with vigour, transforming the overgrown garden back into a space Mrs H could be proud of. Their teamwork extended beyond just weeding; Nadika and Mrs H embarked on several shopping trips to local garden centres to select a variety of summer plants.
A Vibrant Transformation
A new lawn mower was assembled, and with the garden beds prepped and the lawn mowed, Nadika and Mrs H created a vibrant display of colourful plants. The transformation was stunning, and Mrs H was absolutely delighted with the outcome.
