Hospice volunteers scoop garden Gold prize for second year running

Forest Holme Hospice was delighted to scoop the top Gold prize in the Loving Care Homes category at the recent Poole in Bloom awards for the second year running. 

Poole In Bloom has now been running for several years, with its main event being the awards ceremony held annually at Compton Acres, and this year Forest Holme Hospice’s four volunteer gardeners, David, Viv, Petula and Simon, were once again presented with a plaque and certificate in recognition of their hard work in maintaining the hospice gardens all year round. 

Heidi Haagensen, Volunteer Manager at Forest Holme Hospice Charity, said, “We are all so thrilled and proud to be presented with this award for the second year in a row. It’s testament to the amazing work of our volunteer gardeners who look after all our garden spaces, come rain or shine, and help create a beautiful tranquil sanctuary which plays a unique and important role in patient care, staff wellbeing and our environmental impact.”
