Residents of a north Norfolk care home are hoping to clinch victory in a new gardening competition.

Danforth in Bloom began earlier this year and pits nine care homes in the Danforth Group against each other.

Residents of Heath Lodge, in Holt, have diligently planned and planted their garden over three months.

They are now ready for the final submission, which requires them to submit a two-minute video showcasing their garden.

Hazel Madden, care home manager, said: “We have very much enjoyed our preparation for Danforth in Bloom.

“Our residents were very excited to get involved in the planning of the garden, and helped with the planting too.

"It has been lovely seeing friends and family enjoying the space when they come to visit, and seeing photos of their relatives planting it.”

The gardening competition aims to engage the residents and foster a sense of community spirit.

The green spaces of the care homes have been used creatively, with the residents planting herbs, fruits and aesthetic plants.

One unique feature of Heath Lodge's garden is a water feature for that extra touch of tranquillity.
