We have purchased some wooden planters and some of our residents have started to hand paint them to personalise them with their arts and crafts session. We have had some raised flower beds made, and these will also be part of the gardening club for our less able residents who enjoy planning and planting.   Chocolate Fountain Activity Residents recently enjoyed our regular chocolate fountain activity at Ashley Gardens. They had a choice of fresh strawberries and marshmallows on this occasion, and it was as always a great success.   Visit from Local Farm Ashley Gardens enjoyed a visit from a local farm - the residents were able to hold the chicks and stroke some of the other animals, and were also given the opportunity to bottle feed one of the goats and one of the lambs their milk. It was a fantastic experience for all and for those residents who used to work in the farming industry, it provided a great opportunity for reminiscence.   Summer Fete 2010 Newspaper article about Ashley Gardens Summer Fete Avon Lodge - KINGSWOOD, BRISTOL   Activities at Avon Lodge Care Centre Keepers from a local zoo farm came to Avon Lodge with a big beautiful owl, bunny rabbits and a lizard.
