Residents from Regis Port Macquarie celebrated the start of spring with a visit to a local nursery and café. The weather was perfect, and the outing gave everyone a chance to enjoy the sunshine, explore the gardens and share stories over lunch.
Resident Bob was on a mission to find a tomato plant so he could grow his own for summer. Once back at the Home, he was already looking for the right pot and a sunny spot to get started.
The ladies enjoyed browsing the spring flowers and spent time reminiscing about the gardens they’ve had over the years. Lunch was full of conversation, with residents chatting not only with each other but also with café patrons and nursery staff.
Outings like this support wellbeing by encouraging movement, social interaction and sensory engagement. Being part of the local community helps residents feel connected and brings variety to their week.
The outing brought together good food, fresh air and meaningful moments. It was a simple way to mark the change of season and enjoy time in the community.
