An appeal has been launched at Castleman House, the Tricuro-run residential care home in Fairfield Bungalows, Blandford, to improve the residents’ garden area in memory of those lost during the pandemic.

The home currently has 30 residents, all with family in and around the Blandford area, but over the last 12 months has sadly lost 11 of their residents.
They have appealed on social media for seeds, plants or anything else they could use to turn the garden into a memorial garden as a mark of respect for those they had to say goodbye to.

They have also applied to Blandford Town Council for a grant, and say in their application, which was considered by councillors at their June 21 meeting: “Now we are able to have families too visit again, we also thought it would be nice for residents to take them into the garden for a cup of tea.”
