There's something about being in the garden that can make us slow down, notice the seasons and reconnect with familiar sights, scents and routines.

Our latest blog, Growing Wellbeing, looks at why gardens and access to nature remain such an important part of life in our care homes, including for residents who may not be able to get out and about as easily as they once did.

If you have a few minutes, have a read and let us know what you enjoy most about spending time outdoors.

Discover how Kew Care Group’s gardens support wellbeing in later life through nature, gentle activity, familiar interests and time spent outdoors.

Today, Shannay and Julie enjoyed a lovely day out together at Longleat!🐒🐐🦆🦊

Julie has visited Longleat with her family many times over the years, so it was wonderful for Shannay to share this special place with her and enjoy a day of fun, laughter and quality time together.
It was a fantastic day filled with smiles, exploring and making new memories! ❤️
