The class was was by master Florist, Michal Kowalski, from Blooming Haus. Staff and residents at Barchester’s Bradshaw Manor care home were invited to gather together flowers and foliage chosen by themselves and follow Michal’s demonstration to create their own displays. Residents’ arrangements were then entered into a Facebook competition judged by Michal and Michael, the visionaries behind Blooming Haus. Bradshaw Manor beat more than 100 other entries to win the Colour category in the competition with their impressive colourful display. Their prize is £100 in Love2Shop vouchers which they plan to spend on gardening equipment to continue our floral activities.
A GP surgery started vaccinating care home residents in Rhyl last week. Residents at Barchester’s Bradshaw Manor Care Home, on Chester Street, receive their first vaccination from the team at Clarence Medical Centre. Heidi Crompton, general manager, said the vaccine has lifted the spirits of their workers and residents after a difficult year. She added: “We’ve had a year like no other and the vaccine feels like the light at the end of the tunnel. Our teams have been magnificent in how they have risen to every challenge during this pandemic and we are proud to play our part in this next phase to ensure the most vulnerable are protected.”
