We are very pleased to announce that the Jubilee-inspired garden created by our Silverpoint Court Residential Care Home residents and staff has won third place in Nellsar’s ‘Right Royal Jubilee Garden Competition’!
As part of this year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, we entered a fun competition running across all Nellsar’s 13 Homes, to see who could create the best royal-themed garden.
The judging criteria were:
Creativity: How well the Jubilee theme had been executed in the garden design.
Collaboration: How well staff teams worked with and included residents.
Presentation: How well presented and eye-catching the garden looked.
Our submission read:
‘Our residents are all hard at work to make our garden look good for the competition. Residents have built a bird table, painted stones, planted plants in pots and been filling up the bird feeders. They have been having great fun and have really enjoyed themselves!’
Nellsar’s Operations Director Glenda Osmotherly and Recreation and Well-Being Manager Viv Stead had great pleasure in judging the entries last week and our wonderful garden caught their eye!
They commented:
‘An eye-catching garden created with our Queen at the heart of it. Chairs of gold fit for royalty, waterfalls and birds. A fabulous space full of nostalgia, with some lovely seaside touches.’
We are so delighted to have won £50 for our Residents’ Fund and have all been enjoying the wonderful garden we have created. Congratulations to everyone involved!
Sonya Lodge Residential Care Home were awarded first prize for their amazing Union Jack planting and crown pergola, whilst St Winifreds Care Home took second prize for their painted pots, patriotic planting and London themed decorations.
