Residents at The Manor House Knaresborough are enjoying the benefits of vegetable gardening again at their newly developed allotment.

The allotment on Stockwell Road is part of KASHS – Knaresborough Allotments Self Help Scheme.

Wetherby Manor has won a fourth consecutive gold in the Yorkshire in Bloom awards, announced at the awards ceremony at York Racecourse on 11 September.

The awards judge visited Wetherby Manor in July to make her assessment and commented on the way the garden was designed with residents in mind to create “a brilliant therapeutic environment”, the extensive use of annual bedding providing wow factor, and the many visiting birds attracted by the bird tables.

This summer Oulton Manor teamed up with local newsletter LS26 and Dementia Friendly Rothwell on a project to link the wider community with residents through holiday postcards, ‘Postcards to Home’.

LS26 asked people going on holiday to send a postcard to residents at Oulton Manor, including a few words on how their holiday was going.
