Forest Holme Hospice was delighted to scoop the Gold prize in the Loving Care Homes category at the recent Poole in Bloom awards for the third year running.
Poole In Bloom has now been running for several years, with its main event being the awards ceremony held annually at Compton Acres, and this year Forest Holme Hospice’s volunteer gardeners were once again presented with a plaque and certificate in recognition of their hard work in maintaining the hospice gardens all year round.
The talented team also brought home two Bronze Awards in the Sensory Garden and Hanging Baskets & Containers categories awarded by Poole In Bloom secretary and judge Jason Edwards.
Heidi Haagensen, Volunteer Manager at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “This incredible recognition is all thanks to our dedicated volunteer gardeners who lovingly care for every corner of our gardens, from the peaceful sensory courtyard that our patients’ rooms overlook, to the tranquil rear garden and the beautiful wildlife garden along the side of the hospice.”
