Springtime Planting @ Woodhayes

The star of the afternoon was our collection of hyacinths, which were carefully repotted into fresh soil. Their bright colours and sweet fragrance brought smiles all around. Residents enjoyed feeling the soil, arranging the bulbs, and chatting about gardens they once tended. Sowing seeds for the season ahead alongside the hyacinths, we planted a variety of seeds—each one a small promise of the flowers and herbs to come. It was a gentle, calming activity that sparked conversation, memories, and plenty of laughter. Staff and residents worked side by side, creating a lovely sense of teamwork and shared purpose.
