Sandown Park wins ’20 Years InBloom’ 2025 award

Mediterranean-themed garden display at Sandown Park Care Home featuring colourful plants, terracotta pots, and creative decorations made by residents

Residents at Sandown Park created a vibrant Mediterranean-themed garden display filled with colour, creativity, and community spirit.

A Creative and Colourful Celebration

Activities Coordinator Alison led the project, working closely with residents to repurpose the 20th anniversary commemorative buntings into bright and cheerful flower designs. Together, they arranged these colourful creations in pots around the garden. The display brought new life to the outdoor space and filled it with joy.

The team’s creativity captured the spirit of the milestone perfectly. Every resident played a part, helping to design, cut, and arrange the decorations. As a result, the garden became a reflection of pride, togetherness, and shared achievement.

The InBloom competition took place across the Healthcare Homes group. Each home received a personal letter from Sir David Attenborough, who congratulated everyone for their success. He wrote:
“I am so glad your InBloom initiative has proved such a success that it is returning this year. Congratulations.”

Congratulatory letter from Sir David Attenborough sent to all Healthcare Homes participating in the InBloom competition, recognising their creative and sustainable projects.
