Douglasdale Retirement Village hosts Garden Extravaganza and Family Fun Day to celebrate the season
Manager at the retirement village said the garden extravaganza was started in 2012 to encourage residents at the facility make beautiful flower gardens.
Douglasdale Retirement Village hosted its annual Garden Extravaganza and Family Fun Day event to celebrate spring with residents on October 1.
Scores of people attended this year event after a two-year break because of Covid-19 pandemic restrictions in 2020 and 2021.
Local music band known as 60 Shades of Grey Music Band took residents back to the days of their youth with their evergreen live music performance.
Manager at Douglasdale Retirement Village, Jackie de Kock said the garden extravaganza was started in 2012 to encourage residents at the facility to make beautiful flower gardens.
“The aim of this event is to celebrate spring season with residents and their families. We also use this event to bring garden experts that will judge the gardens that they do every day sometimes with the help of gardeners. We also invite people and organisations to set up their stalls to sell their products. It is a really big event on the Douglasdale Retirement Village calendar.”
De Kock also urged members of the community to support their future family events.
