The week leading up to the event was a flurry of activity at Wadhurst Manor. The air was filled with anticipation and the scent of fresh paint as residents prepared their entries for the show. From vibrant paintings and intricate flower arrangements to heartfelt poetry and unique crafts, the residents put their heart and soul into each creation.
As the day of the show arrived, the excitement was palpable. The residents, accompanied by their carers, made their way to the venue, their eyes sparkling with anticipation. The exhibits were a feast for the senses - a riot of colours, textures, and fragrances that captivated everyone present.
But the day was about more than just the exhibits. It was about the joy of sharing a slice of cake, the delight of making new furry friends, and the thrill of seeing their creations being judged. The residents of Wadhurst Manor didn't just participate; they triumphed, walking away with one first place, four third places, and two highly commended.
Sarah, an Activities Assistant at Wadhurst Manor, couldn't contain her pride. “Creative activities are always a favourite with everyone who lives at Wadhurst Manor and it’s great fun to showcase what we have all made," she said. "We had a wonderful time at the flower show. Everyone was so excited to see where they came in the judging, they really enjoyed meeting new people and looking at all the different exhibits.”
The Stonegate Flower Show was more than just an event. It was a celebration of creativity, community, and the indomitable spirit of the residents of Wadhurst Manor. They didn't just win at a flower show; they won at creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.
