This #GoodNewsFriday we hear about Gibraltar Nursing Home’s recent World Bee Day celebrations.
Gibraltar Nursing Home recently marked World Bee Day with a day of gardening activities and bee-themed fun across the home. The day, which centred around raising awareness of the importance of bees, brought residents and team members together to take part in shared projects and spend time outdoors.
Some team members dressed as bees for the occasion, while others wore bright colours and floral patterns inspired by flowers and gardens. Home Manager Verity dressed as a beekeeper.
There was an activity painting recycled bean and tomato tins from the kitchen, transforming them into colourful garden planters. Bee and insect houses were also painted and later placed throughout the home’s gardens and outdoor spaces, creating both decoration and new habitats for wildlife.
Bee and butterfly wildflower seeds were also sown around the area .
After the busy afternoon, everyone came together for music and singing alongside tea, honey sandwiches and cupcakes.
Home Manager Verity said:
It was lovely to see everyone enjoying the bee-themed activities. The gardening projects run through our Sunshine and Soil Gardening Group are always a favourite weekly activity within the home, and we’re glad to be doing our small part to help the bees too.
