Meaningful Moments - Richard's garden

Yesterday we took a trip to visit a very special garden, which belongs to our wonderful resident Richard.

Throughout his life, one of Richard’s big passions has been for gardening & also collecting rare trees and plants. He dedicated many hours when at home to creating a tranquil oasis full of rare plants & colourful flowers, a labour of love of which he is incredibly proud.

Richard talks about his garden often, so with the help of his family, we were able to arrange for him to visit it again. Richard’s son Russell met us there and as soon as we arrived, Richard’s face lit up with the biggest smile. We all felt incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to share the joy of Richard’s garden with him and we’d like to thank his family making it possible.

On the way home, we decided to stop in at the Potters Heron Pub for a round of drinks & Richard enjoyed a pint in the sunshine amongst friends.
