I have been out to get myself books and have learnt so much about new plants. I really enjoy the garden and I am really proud to have been given the title of ‘Resident Head Gardener.”

General Manager Marvellous at Elm Bank said: “Our garden is a much loved space, residents really enjoy watching the changes throughout the seasons. Brian really has transformed the space and really made it colourful with beautiful flowers for all to enjoy.
