People had also been involved in developing the garden and growing a range of vegetables. They had discussed raising funds to provide a 'summerhouse' with people. The home had received support from local community ventures in fundraising.
Points to consider
Only basic gardening and garden fundraising mentioned, no activities coordinator or varied programme, so the role is mostly routine personal care.
