Shipdham Manor has proudly won the Best Flower Arrangement Award in this year’s Healthcare Homes InBloom competition. The award celebrates creativity, teamwork, and a shared passion for nature- all of which were clear in Shipdham Manor’s stunning floral displays.
Working together to arrange freshly picked flowers for their award-winning InBloom display.
Residents and staff worked side by side to design beautiful arrangements using freshly picked flowers, including vibrant roses and a mix of seasonal blooms. Every display was made with care and creativity, adding warmth and colour to the home. The result was a joyful showcase that brightened the garden and lifted everyone’s spirits.
Their dedication to making the home welcoming and full of life truly shone through. It wasn’t just about flowers- it was about bringing people together through shared effort and creativity.
