Join our Spring planting workshop!
We're hosting a Spring Planting Workshop with the support of a local gardener as part of a wider initiative that aims to create a community within the Standish Care Village.
Ali Ball, the Wigan Wildlife Gardener, will be hosting a free workshop at Langtree Care Home on Friday, 6th March at 10:00 am.
The
Spring Planting Workshop will be an opportunity for residents, their loved ones
and members of the local community to plant strawberries in time for spring and
learn about nature from an experienced gardener.
The
event will be part of ourTogether in The Village initiative,
which aims to connect the homes and people within the local community to
improve the lives of residents within the Standish Care Village.
“I’m genuinely so excited to be hosting our spring planting workshop at Standish Care Village. There’s something incredibly heart-warming about the thought of sitting together, hands in the soil, planting little seeds that will soon grow into something beautiful. I’m really looking forward to sharing laughter, stories, and a touch of springtime joy with the residents — it already feels so special, and it hasn’t even begun yet.”
“Our residents loved mingling with other residents, staff and loved ones at the first Together in The Village event earlier this month, a coffee morning which raised funds for Dementia UK, so they’ll love getting their hands dirty at this Spring Planting Workshop.
“There are a lot of green fingers in our home, so we’re super excited for this session with Ali! The combination of gardening and mixing with new people will provide great benefits for all our residents.”
The Standish Care Village consists of Lakeside Care Home, Langtree Care Home and Worthington Lake Care Home and caters for respite, residential, dementia and nursing care. The Village provides
