Local Care Home Embraces Flower Power

Residents at Hugh Myddelton House in Southgate celebrated Chelsea Flower Show which took place from 23 to 27 May 2023 – as well as watching the show on TV, they also held their own competition for the green-fingered.

Created and run by the Royal Horticultural Society, Chelsea Flower Show is the world’s greatest flower show with stunning garden designs and gorgeous floral displays.

Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the week including a flower arranging master class and competition and planting flowers in their raised bed garden which everyone really enjoyed. Their collective knowledge about flowers and shrubs gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive. Resident’s loved ones also took part and the home looked beautiful decked out with blooms.

Jade Shea, General Manager at Hugh Myddelton House said: “Our garden is a much loved space, our residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers and watching them grow and change through the seasons. It has been wonderful to see all the beautiful garden designs at Chelsea, it has given us real inspiration to try some new planting schemes and see what we can achieve in our own garden.”
