Residents at Camellia House in Ware, Hertfordshire celebrated International Flower Day which took place recently.
International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people. From growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty, flowers have the power to make someone’s day.
Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day including a flower and foliage arranging competition, reminiscing about their gardens and flowers in the home’s garden and a flower quiz which everyone really enjoyed.
Their collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.
Ranjit Karavadra, general manager at Camellia House said: “Our garden is a much-loved space, residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers and watching them grow and change through the seasons.
