Sunshine and Summer Prep at The Grove’s Gardening Club
It was the perfect day for The Grove’s Gardening Club as residents gathered in the courtyard to enjoy the sunshine and continue preparing the garden for summer. With smiles all around, they planted and re-potted a vibrant selection of flowers, herbs, and summer plants that will soon bring even more colour and life to the outdoor spaces.
Gardening That Nurtures Mind and Body
Gardening is a much-loved activity at The Grove, with many residents eager to get involved each week. Beyond the joy of watching things grow, gardening provides numerous wellbeing benefits. It gently promotes physical movement, reduces stress, and lifts the mood—especially when shared with friends under a clear blue sky.
These sessions are also a great way to foster a sense of purpose, independence, and connection with nature. Whether tending to pots or simply soaking up the fresh air, everyone had a wonderful time enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the afternoon.
Making the Most of the Sunshine
After the gardening was done, many residents chose to stay outdoors, enjoying refreshing drinks and conversation in the courtyard. With its relaxed atmosphere and natural beauty, the garden continues to be a favourite spot for residents to unwind and socialise.
