Open Garden Event

We are so lucky here at St Bernards to be part of a great community, and to have been able to participate in the open gardens event. We had nearly the whole street open their gardens in support of stroke association on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

The residents enjoyed having a little nose in some of the beautiful gardens of our neighbours, exploring around whilst enjoying some live music and refreshments. St Bernard’s also got to show off our own garden and let everyone view where all the residents spend time when the weather is at its best. Not only did the residents and staff have a great time but the weather was in our favour too.

The importance of involving residents in as many activities in house or within our community is vital for their health and wellbeing. It gives them the chance to socialise with one another, family, friends, and staff when participating in these great events.

It was definitely a day to remember, and we look forward to the next open gardens event!
