Gardening Club Brings Colour and Creativity to Enablement Care

A close-up of three people painting terracotta plant pots at a wooden table. A woman with red and black hair is guiding the activity, while two other participants, one in a beanie and another in a striped top, focus on their designs. The table is covered with paint pots, brushes, and glasses of water.

Gardening Club at Enablement Care in Sutton-in-Ashfield was a hive of activity recently! Led by the ever-enthusiastic Lisa, our team got to work planting cheerful daffodils and winter pansies, adding a splash of colour to the borders and raised beds. The bamboo also got a much-needed trim – cut back and set aside for recycling (or maybe for a future craft project, who knows?).

Meanwhile, over on the windowsills, our freshly potted vegetable seeds are settling in nicely, watered and basking in the winter sunshine. Fingers crossed for a bumper crop!

A wider shot of the room, showing multiple participants engaged in the pot painting activity. The group includes individuals of different ages, all focused on their creative work. The room has wooden flooring, a feature wall with decorative elements, and natural light coming in through the windows.

After a busy morning in the garden, we all sat down together for a homemade lunch, giving everyone a chance to relax, chat, and build confidence in a friendly, welcoming setting. Sharing a meal is just as important as tending to the plants – it helps nurture social skills and brings the group closer together.

Another angle of the young boy painting his pot, with an adult next to him adding details to theirs. The warm-toned room has a patterned feature wall with decorative elements such as plants and framed prints, adding to the cosy atmosphere.

To add a creative touch, Lisa got residents involved in painting plant pots, gearing up for the much-anticipated Sunflower Competition. With bright colours and artistic flair, we’re all set to grow some towering, prize-worthy sunflowers – watch this space!

A young boy in glasses and a red football shirt is painting a terracotta pot with yellow paint, concentrating on his design. Two adults beside him are also painting pots, using brushes and different coloured paints. The table is scattered with small paint containers, napkins, and a glass of orange juice.

It was a fantastic day all around, and we’re already looking forward to another green-fingered session next week!
