A wonderful day earlier in the year - making the most of the February sunshine at the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Our wheelchair friendly polytunnel is proving very fruitful! It's a lovely place to spend some time, come rain or shine! It's supplying us with salads, veg and some yummy strawberries. With handy raised beds, our residents are tending to it every day!

Cartref Croeso's chickens have settled in nicely and have been producing lovely eggs all summer, which our residents all enjoy collecting. 'The Girls' have fabulous characters and provide much amusement to us all!

Studies have shown that chickens offer significant therapeutic benefits for people of all ages and can be helpful for those suffering from anxiety, depression, isolation, loneliness and dementia. We're certainly loving their company - both residents & staff alike!
