A hands-on learning experience
There is always something fascinating to learn in Hayden’s gardening sessions and his recent talk on bromeliads was no exception.
We explored the interesting world of bromeliads, their vast geographical range and the diverse conditions they grow in. Hayden is passionate about plants and loves nothing more than sharing his knowledge.
Inspired by the talk, soon the residents were crafting their own special plant stands for the smallest of the bromeliads, the Tillandsia (air plant).
These special plants require no soil or watering, absorbing all their moisture from the air.
The day was a hit, with many residents now proudly displaying their creations in their rooms or the lounge. “That was fascinating!” said one resident. “I didn’t realise there were so many varieties,” agreed another.
