Julie House, general manager at Shawford Springs, said: “Our garden is a much loved space, residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers, watching them grow and change through the seasons. May is such a fantastic time to be outside enjoying the garden, many of our flowers are coming into bloom now so we all had great fun creating our colourful containers for the coronation. Seeing all of the trees in blossom is such a tonic for us all too.”
