Gardening Day Brings Joy and Memories to Residents

What a transformation the residents and staff at Broadlands Lodge Care Home have made in a single day! Our picturesque care home in Norwich became a hive of activity recently when everyone gathered to revitalise the home's garden.

Bright and early, residents selected their favourite plants, brimming with anticipation and fond memories of their own gardening experiences from years gone by. The atmosphere was filled with a sense of community and shared purpose. Staff joined residents, getting their hands dirty while delighting in conversations about gardens once nurtured in younger days.

Despite facing heavy winds, the determination of our residents shone through. There was a collective buzz as everyone pulled together, setting each plant with care and attention. This collaborative effort not only beautified our garden but also strengthened the bonds within our community.

One resident mentioned how the fragrance of marigolds took them straight back to their childhood garden. Another recollected the joy of growing prize-winning roses. These stories are the lifeblood of Broadlands Lodge, where every moment is cherished and new memories are made.

The day concluded with a stunning transformation - a garden brimming with vibrant colours and flourishing plants. It was a joy to witness the pride on our residents' faces as they admired the fruits of their labour. This event has brought endless smiles and has turned the garden into a sanctuary of happy memories and new beginnings.

Broadlands Lodge is dedicated to creating such enriching experiences for our residents, reaffirming that it’s not just a place to live but a vibrant community where life blossoms every day.
