Sandown Park has proudly won the 20 Years InBloom Healthcare Homes Award for its creative anniversary project. The award celebrates homes that show innovation, sustainability, and resident involvement. Sandown Park impressed judges with its originality, teamwork, and community spirit.
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.
Residents at Sandown Park transformed 20th anniversary buntings into bright flower designs for their award-winning InBloom garden project.
Recognition from Sir David Attenborough
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.”
Sir David Attenborough congratulates all Healthcare Homes InBloom participants for their creative and sustainable projects.
