Care home residents enjoy trip to local garden centre

Hilton Park care home, in Bottisham, made the most of the Spring Sunshine with a trip out the local Garden Centre.

Residents at Hilton Park had a lovely time at Scotsdales Garden Centre in nearby Fordham, admiring the beautiful displays, delighting in the giant fish in the aquarium, and enjoying some refreshments.


General Manager Geanina Tinca said: “Our residents have really enjoyed their outing today. We are always made to feel so welcome whenever we visit Scotsdales and today was no different. When the weather is this warm it is important for the residents to be able to enjoy a full range of outdoor activities whilst also spending a little bit of time out of the sunshine.”
