For International Flower Day residents at Fountains Care Home in Shirley, Solihull took part in a “zoom” flower arranging class.
It was a really lovely activity that was made so, by our wonderful community friend and florist Sue.
Sue delivers flowers to our residents courtesy of Marks and Spencer’s most weeks, so we thought we would mark International Flower Day by doing something a little different with the generous delivery.
Our residents spent the morning gathering a good mixture of foliage from the grounds to go in their displays and when the flowers were delivered, the hard stemmed flowers were chosen for the class and the bouquets were deconstructed.
Sue talked and guided our residents through the process, whilst demonstrating by making her own stunning arrangement. Everyone really enjoyed choosing their flowers, colour scheme and foliage for their displays. The fragrance in the room also brought a lot of joy with one resident saying how relaxing and therapeutic the session was!
The displays produced were really impressive and our residents proudly displayed them to be enjoyed in their rooms.
