🌼👩‍🌾😎 Who Has a Green Thumb? 🌼👩‍🌾😎

With the stellar weather we've been having over the past couple of weeks, the Gardening Club was finally able to spend the morning outdoors.

The blue skies and sunshine provided the perfect backdrop for the residents to head out into the Corumbene garden and tend to the raised beds. Everyone got a Bunnings Warehouse Australia sunhat and refreshments to keep cool while clearing the garden beds.

The group started out by taking all the weeds and dead branches out of the raised bed. Then they got some fresh dirt to replenish the soil with nutrients.

The Garden Club meets each week to tackle a new gardening task, activity or adventure. What do you think they should plant in these freshly tilled beds?

🏖☀🕺 Check out the February Calendar 🏖☀🕺

Now that we are well into summer, we can start enjoying the outdoors even more here at Corumbene! We wanted to make sure you are up-to-date on all the activities our residents, relatives, staff and volunteers are looking forward to in February.

As the days get warmer, our residents will be heading out to our Gardening Group every Thursday morning at 10:30am. They typically meet at Linkway Cafe and then determine if they'll do a gardening experience at Corumbene or off-site.

We also have a few concerts this month from Doug Fletcher and Wayne Shoobridge. If you're looking for ways to get involved, be sure to come to our monthly Residents & Relatives Forum on 4 February, our quarterly Chattuccino with the CEO on 12 February, and our special Consumer Advisory Body Workshop on 20 February.

As it is February, that means it is the month of Valentine's Day! Our residents will be having a Mocktails and Chocolates event on the 13 February in the Main Lounge at 1:30pm to enjoy the celebratory holiday.

What are you looking forward to this month?

🍖😎 Lovely Long Weekend for a Barbecue 🍖😎

As we get more into the summer, our residents are finding even more ways to get outside. For the long weekend, our Wellbeing and Lifestyle team took a whole group of residents to Tynwald Park to barbecue some sausages and burgers. Even our resident Merv got his time working the grill.

As many people celebrated Australia Day over the long weekend, many of the volunteers, family members, and Community Services clients were wearing festive hats and decorated the park with some flags.

With the sun shining and the sausages sizzling, everyone was in happy spirits.
