Bromley Park Care Home creates Right Royal Jubilee Garden

As part of this year’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, our residents and staff at Bromley Park Care Home 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:
‘We at Bromley Park are very excited to introduce our residents and staff to our new five useable gardens! We focused on the legacy of Jubilee and the continuation thereof.

These gardens include our beautiful sensory water feature, herb gardens as well as different flowers scattered around our large garden. We also have an aviary and are in the process of sourcing birds of residents choice.

Our staff and residents all participated in making the garden accessible to all. We even have the Union Jack standing tall in our garden representing the Jubilee and it makes everyone feel really proud!

Peter, Ellen, Irene, Barbara L and Esmeralda R all experienced what the garden has to offer.’

Nellsar’s Operations Director Glenda Osmotherly and Recreation and Well-Being Manager Viv Stead had great pleasure in judging the entries last week and, although we didn’t win, our wonderful garden caught their eye.

They commented:
‘A wonderful way to personify the Queen’s legacy and a fabulous array of accessible gardens for Bromley Park’s residents. The Queen would be very impressed at the time and effort put in!’

We are so delighted and have all been enjoying the wonderful garden we have created. Congratulations to everyone involved!
