We were so pleased to receive an update from Adventcare Yarra Ranges recently on how their Wellbeing Garden is doing.
"Our residents would like to let you know that they thoroughly enjoy getting out and planting vegetables and watching them grow.
They cultivate all the beds, water them when required and when we go out on our morning walks to the garden their faces light up with excitement when there is produce that is ready to pick. We take a basket out and once picked they proudly carry it inside and knock on the kitchen door to give the produce to our chef who then uses it in the menu for that week.
I would like to thank you for the sensory and enjoyment that all of our residents get from being involved out in the garden."
