Our Harlow Hall care home in Aldershot has scooped the Silver Awards for ‘Best Community Garden’ and ‘Best Hanging Basket’ for the third consecutive year in the Rushmoor Community in Bloom Awards.

Rushmoor Community in Bloom is an annual competition which celebrates the green-fingered efforts of residents, schools and local communities across the borough. It champions gardening, wildlife-friendly spaces and the pride people take in their local environment.

Harlow Hall wins silver award for the third consecutive year at the Rushmoor & Bloom Awards

Chris Ahenkorah, Home Manager at Harlow Hall, says:

“We’re thrilled to win the silver awards for our community garden and hanging basket – it’s a really great achievement, especially for our residents who are so hands-on with our gardens. Our resident, Don, in particular has been instrumental in supporting us to achieve this accolade with all his time spent ensuring our gardens are well looked after. Next year, we’re going for Gold!”

The win is a wonderful reflection of the community spirit at Harlow Hall and the active role residents play in shaping life at the home. Our fully accessible, enclosed landscaped garden – complete with patio areas and sun terraces – is a real highlight for residents and their families alike.
