The event, organised by
Herefordshire Growing Point, a local charity promoting horticultural therapy, saw talented individuals from across the county present various artistic and horticultural creations. The charity is dedicated to supporting people living with physical or mental challenges or ill health to experience the therapeutic benefits of gardening. Residents at Lynhales Hall have greatly benefited from the charity's mission, continuing to enjoy the joys of gardening, no matter their ability or age.
Special guests at the event included
The High Sheriff of Herefordshire, Patricia Churchward, much to the delight of Lynhales Hall residents, who were excited to meet her. The competition showcased the creativity and passion of those involved, with entries ranging from traditional horticultural displays to more inventive artistic creations.
