Got it 🌸 You’d like me to create a full blog post focusing only on the “Bloomin’ Together” event at Kenyon Lodge. Here’s a polished version that captures the spirit of the day, celebrates everyone’s contribution, and frames it as a joyful community story:

Bloomin’ Together at Kenyon Lodge 🌸🌞

At Kenyon Lodge, we believe that a home should be more than just a place to live – it should be a space full of colour, joy, and community spirit. This July, we were delighted to bring this vision to life through our wonderful event: “Bloomin’ Together at Kenyon Lodge.”

In partnership with the fantastic charity Walkden in Bloom, our gardens were transformed into vibrant, flower-filled spaces that residents, families, staff, and the wider community can all enjoy.

A True Community Effort 🌿

The day was about much more than planting – it was about people coming together. We were joined by:

• Residents, who loved rolling up their sleeves and getting their hands in the soil.
• Families and friends, who supported their loved ones and shared in the fun.
• Our Local Authority Quality Assurance Officer, who didn’t just watch – they mucked in and planted alongside us!

The atmosphere was full of laughter, teamwork, and pride as we created something beautiful together.

Walkden in Bloom – Our Wonderful Partners 🌼

We owe a huge thank you to Paul and the team from Walkden in Bloom, who generously provided all the plants and materials. Their support brought a splash of summer colour to Kenyon Lodge and made a visible difference to our home’s outdoor spaces.

This collaboration truly showed what can be achieved when local organisations and care homes work hand in hand.

A Special Thank You 💜

While every staff member who attended deserves recognition for supporting our residents, we’d like to give an extra special mention to our maintenance man, Gary. He went above and beyond by handcrafting stunning wooden planters for the project. His skill, dedication, and care gave our gardens a personal touch that everyone admires.

Planting Seeds of Joy 🌷

The best part of the day was seeing the smiles on our residents’ faces as they helped create the garden. Gardening has so many benefits – from reducing stress to encouraging gentle physical activity – but above all, it brought happiness and a sense of achievement.

Now, as our flowers bloom, so too does the joy of knowing we created them together. Every time our residents, staff, or visitors step outside, they’ll be greeted with a garden that tells a story of teamwork, kindness, and community.

Looking Ahead 🌞

“Bloomin’ Together at Kenyon Lodge” was a huge success, and it won’t be the last time we roll up our sleeves for a project like this. At Kenyon Lodge, we’re committed to keeping our home and community spaces full of life, colour, and opportunities to connect.

Thank you again to everyone who made this day possible – residents, families, staff, Walkden in Bloom, and of course, Gary. Together, we’ve planted more than flowers – we’ve planted joy, memories, and pride in our community. 🌸
