🌱✨ Blossom Buddies in Action! ✨🌱

This week our wonderful Blossom Buddies gardening group rolled up their sleeves to plant seeds and cuttings. From sowing tiny beginnings to watering and nurturing, everyone enjoyed getting their hands in the soil and seeing their hard work take root. 🌼🌿

Gardening brings so much joy, connection, and calm to our days here at Alex Wood Care Home – and we can’t wait to watch these little seeds blossom into something beautiful! 💚

📸 Here are some lovely moments from our green-fingered afternoon…

Thank you to Ken, David, Gary and Alicia from Cambridge Veterans Club for joining us at Alex Wood House for afternoon tea.
We were delighted to be able to offer a donation to the club to help them with their events, and overwhelmed by the beautiful cake Alicia made for us.
The stories shared by Ken, David and Gary were captivating. Words can not express how grateful we are to those who have fought for our country.
