Sandra so enjoyed your lovley blog and Wow the apricot rose is just stunning.

You must get a lot of pleasure working in this garden.

This looks wonderful, what a pleasure to work in this garden.

Happy gardening, Marge.

thanks for your comments..the rose smells lovely. and yes we do enjoy this garden a lot Marge.

It's great that there are places like this for people in need. and it's wonderful that the garden is also given some considedation. To me it's as important as the house in helping people feel better.

Are the residents able to help, or do they just enjoy it?

What a wonderful place ,it gives pleasure to so many people , that Apricot rose is stunning !

A great garden that is full of character.I'm sure it gives so much pleasure to the residents.

My wife (a nurse) works mainly in an ordinary-looking house, in a normal-looking house, in a normal street. This house, however, is a respite home for children with severe needs (many of them have terminal illnesses). She accompanies some of the better ones to a special school all day, but others cannot attend. They take them on outings, e.g. to the supermarket to buy the weekly menus. Recently, they have been out buying containers and bulbs for the front door and rear garden. Firstly, I couldn't believe that my wife would enter a garden centre to look for plants (she usually just wants the cafes/restaurants, lol). Secondly, perhaps they could create a lovely outdoor space for next "summer"? Hmmm, you've got me thinking now!

your wife does a very special job, well done..both the families and the kids who come to this house love the outside space aswell..
