"I like to keep on top of the gardening as it makes it an easier job and it helps relax my mind."

While Alan was staying at Elmhurst over National Gardening Week, Rihanat and Faye supported him with some weeding and planting.

Faye and Rihanat were with us on a work placement, to learn more about working in short stay care. "Everyone was really welcoming and included us in planning future activities at Elmhurst."

"We felt very happy and appreciated to help Alan do something he cares about. We enjoyed chatting while we worked, hearing about Alan's experiences," they said.

The final photo shows a 30cm high plant pot full of plants with bright lime, sage and forest green leaves and a dwarf, cone shaped conifer. There are some white flowers on some of the plants too.
