Planting Herbs In Our Garden

At Hampton Care Home, we love creating opportunities for our residents to enjoy meaningful activities that bring joy, connection, and a sense of achievement. This week, our residents rolled up their sleeves and got their hands green during a wonderful herb-planting session in our garden.

Under the warm sunshine of August, we planted a beautiful selection of fresh herbs including basil, rosemary, and mint. The activity was not only a chance to soak up the fresh air but also a lovely way to reminisce about favourite recipes and the simple pleasures of gardening. Laughter, stories, and even a few gardening tips were shared as everyone worked together, nurturing the plants that will soon flourish in our care home garden here at Hampton.

Our residents showed real pride in their work, and already the herbs are beginning to thrive. These plants will grow into something we can all enjoy – their fragrant leaves will be used in our kitchen, adding homegrown flavour to meals and reminding us of the joy that comes from growing something with our own hands.

It was a beautiful afternoon filled with smiles, sunshine, and a renewed appreciation for nature’s simple pleasures. Keep up to date with our news and events page to see what we get up to next at Hampton Care Home!
