Hallmark in Bloom 2011

Posted in news

Hallmark in Bloom was hotly contested once again this year with homes pulling out all the stops to impress the judges, and provide fantastic gardens for residents.

 Most homes have had training this year from Thrive, and the benefits were clear to see. There is greater accessibility in the gardens, with resident involvement increasing as a result. The results have been announced and the new-look awards will be given out during Staff Recognition Month. Well done to all our homes for their amazing work for this year’s Hallmark in Bloom. Keep up the green-fingered work throughout the year!
