Elphin Lodge village wins accolades
MODDERFONTEIN – Residents from the Rand Aid's Elphin Lodge participated in a competition in which the lodge won an accolade.
Residents of Rand Aid Elphin Lodge, Madge and Peter Ronald, once again entered the village and it’s Ron Smith Care Centre into Gold Reef Rose Society’s Annual Rose Show.
Madge used roses from the village and care centre’s gardens to create beautiful arrangements which caught the judges’ attention and earned podium places (the village won silver and the care centre gold) in the retirement village category. “We are so proud,” said the complex manager Helen Petrie.
The certificates add to those earned at last year’s show – a gold for Ron Smith Care Centre, silver for Rand Aid and bronze for Elphin Lodge.
This year’s rose show was held at Morningside Shopping Centre on Friday, 4 October and Saturday, 5 October.
The Ronalds are both rose lovers and are always happy to share their knowledge. “Many gardens and flower beds in Elphin Lodge have beautiful roses grown by Peter,” Petrie said.
