This weekend, Flowerdown residents had a fantastic time at our Bikers Event. We welcomed bikers and got to admire a variety of amazing bikes, enjoyed live performances, and tucked into some lovely refreshments and snacks. It was a brilliant afternoon filled with energy and excitement!

Our residents rolled up their sleeves and got stuck into a fun-filled baking session here at Flowerdown! The activity room was full of laughter and the delicious smell of freshly baked cupcakes as everyone joined in to mix, bake, and decorate their creations.
Once the cupcakes were out of the oven, the real fun began - with colourful icing and plenty of sprinkles on hand, each resident decorated their cupcakes just the way they liked. The results? Beautiful, tasty treats and lots of proud smiles all around!
It was a lovely way to spend time together, share stories, and enjoy baking as a community."

Residents of Flowerdown enjoyed a rewarding day harvesting fresh beans and carrots from our very own garden patch! With smiles on their faces, everyone embraced the chance to get their hands a little dirty while picking the vegetables they helped grow.

To make it even more special, our talented kitchen team turned the freshly picked produce into a delicious homemade vegetable soup - a true taste of their hard work and care.

There's nothing quite like the joy of growing, harvesting, and enjoying your own food - and it was a beautiful reminder of the simple pleasures in life."
