LOCAL CARE HOME EMBRACES FLOWER POWER

Residents at Scarborough Hall in Scarborough celebrated Chelsea Flower Show which took place from 19 to 23 May 2026 - as well as watching the show on TV, they also held their own competition for green-fingered residents.

Created and run by the Royal Horticultural Society, Chelsea Flower Show is the world’s greatest flower show with stunning garden designs and gorgeous floral displays.

Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the week including flower arranging, reminiscing about their gardens/flowers in the home’s garden, Planting Strawberry plants and a visit to Sewerby halls gardens which everyone really enjoyed. Their collective knowledge about flowers and shrubs gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.

Charlotte, General Manager at Scarborough Hall said: “Our garden is a much loved space, our residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers and watching them grow and change through the seasons. It has been wonderful to see all the beautiful garden designs at Chelsea, it has given us real inspiration to try some new planting schemes and see what we can achieve in our own garden.”

Doreen, a resident at Scarborough Hall added: “I just love to watch the Chelsea Flower Show, to me it is the absolute highlight of the gardening year. I don’t know how they manage to come up with such innovative designs each year but it is just so lovely to see all the gorgeous blooms and beautiful colours.”
