A care home transformed its garden into a sensory wonderland.
Templeton Place Care Home in Nursling hosted its Big Green Picnic in collaboration with Right at Home Solent, turning the garden into a vibrant sensory space filled with flowers, music, bubbles, giant games and interactive activities.
The event supported Dementia Adventure, a national charity that helps people living with dementia and their carers enjoy the benefits of the outdoors.
Resident Raymond Smith said: “It was such a lovely day and there was so much going on for everyone to enjoy.

Kiya McFarlane, wellbeing coach, said the event was designed to create a welcoming environment that would stimulate the senses while bringing people together.
She said: “We wanted to transform our garden into a magical sensory space where residents, their loved ones and the wider community could spend quality time together.
“The support from families, colleagues and our community was amazing.”
