Residents win seven awards at horticultural show

RESIDENTS from a Highland care home are in full bloom after picking up a string of awards at the Black Isle Horticultural Society show in Rosemarkie.

Competing for the first time in the event, the residents from Eilean Dubh in Fortrose were awarded one first prize, three second prizes and three third prizes for their carefully cultivated house plants.

Earlier this month, the residents picked up two awards at the Black Isle Show for their garden roses. 

Following their winning streak, they are now preparing for the Alness Horticultural Society later this month.

Fiona Stoddart, well-being coordinator at Eilean Dubh, said: “The residents are absolutely thrilled with their achievements. 

“Tending to the plants and flowers has brought them so much joy, and the thrill of winning has made it even better. 

“It’s been a wonderful experience seeing how much pride they take in their work, and how much it means to them to be recognised for it.”
