Local schoolchildren donate garden plants to Harry Priestley House residents

Residents at Harry Priestley House, in Thorne, Doncaster have been planting flowers in preparation for the growing season, thanks to a kind donation from local schoolchildren.

One of the residents, David Jepson, who is keen gardener, was thrilled to receive the plants. He said:

Gardening is one of my favourite activities. Our Home has a lovely spacious garden and I’m looking forward to spending more time outdoors as the weather gets brighter and warmer.

Anne Stobart, Home Manager at Harry Priestley House, said:

It was such a delight to receive the flowers from the schoolchildren of Marshland Primary School. It lifted our residents’ spirits up. We are looking forward to opening our Home up to more activities with the community when it is safe to do so.
