Sully Day Opportunities, a day service near Cardiff which supports individuals with additional needs, is celebrating winning third place in garden makeover contest.

The garden was recognised for its homemade bug house, put together with materials found in their backyard and within the local area. The space was also decorated with flower beds and freshly sown seeds, planted by individuals supported by the service.

Sully Day Opportunities will receive £25 worth of vouchers to spend at its local garden centre and all entrants will be given a packet of sunflower seeds as a reminder of the experience and make their gardens bloom even more next year.

The annual Salutem in Bloom competition encourages individuals supported by Salutem services across the UK to bring their unique personalities to their gardens with plants, ornaments and homemade decorations.

Vivienne Foley, manager at Sully Day Opportunities said: “We’re very pleased with the turnout of our garden and the prize that we have been awarded.

“Sully Day Opportunities is a care service that take pride in ensuring that the individuals we support are completing a range of activities and this was the perfect opportunity to get out in the sun.

“Our team is very proud of the turnout, and we want to thank Salutem for creating this competition!”

John Godden MBE, CEO of Salutem Care and Education which operates the service, said: “I want to say well done to everyone that took part in the garden transformation competition.

“It was lovely to see that there were lots of innovative ideas and every garden that entered the competition was full of life. We can see the effort that went into every home.

“A special congratulations to Vivienne and the team at Sully Day Opportunities for their sustainable ideas. The garden looks fantastic and is a memorable entry into the competition. We’re looking forward to seeing what their winnings will be spent on.”
