This morning at Bourne House Nursing Home, resident John was eager to check on the snowdrop bulbs he had carefully planted just a month ago. With a keen sense of anticipation, he set off on an early morning walk through the garden, accompanied by a member of our team. What began as a simple visit to see his growing flowers soon turned into a delightful nature stroll filled with wonderful discoveries.
As they wandered through the garden, John and his companion stumbled upon an old tennis racket nestled among the leaves, sparking nostalgic memories of past games. They paused to wave through the foliage, taking in the sights and sounds of nature all around them. Despite the winter chill, the garden still held bursts of colour, with beautiful flowers in bloom providing a cheerful display.
Inspired by the natural beauty surrounding them, John and his companion gathered leaves, petals, and other garden treasures to create a charming nature picture. This artistic masterpiece now holds pride of place in John’s room, serving as a lovely reminder of a peaceful and engaging morning spent in the fresh air.
At Bourne House Nursing Home, we take great pleasure in fostering moments like these, where residents can connect with nature, reminisce, and engage in meaningful activities that bring joy and fulfilment.
