Landscapers have been creating the new ‘sensory garden’. This will incorporate roses, honeysuckle and lavender, wind chimes, water feature and bird feeders so that the residents will have the pleasure of sitting outside on the extended patio, in the Devon sunshine, enjoying the views of the picturesque Honiton valley and the sounds and smells of the garden. If the weather is inclement, they can of course enjoy the same view from the conservatory, where they can take afternoon tea and enjoy the homemade cakes that are on offer every day.

Each individual room in the Melbourne wing has its own external door leading on to its own paved patio space with comfortable chairs to relax and enjoy the fresh air and raised planting boxes, which were created so that residents interested in pottering around in the garden are able to grow and look after their own area without having the problem of getting on their knees..
