Manor Cottage Wins 2nd Prize at the 80th Frenchay Flower Show

We are thrilled to share that Manor Cottage Residential Home has been awarded second place at this year’s Frenchay Flower Show — a particularly special celebration marking the 80th anniversary of this much-loved community event.

The Frenchay Flower Show has long been a cherished tradition, bringing together people of all ages to celebrate the joys of gardening, the charm of handmade crafts, and the spirit of togetherness that makes our local community so special. Year after year, it continues to grow and flourish as a vibrant display of creativity, connection, and care.

Our residents proudly entered three categories under the Supported Residents class and were delighted to receive recognition for their efforts:

• A charming Miniature Garden in a seed tray, complete with tiny flowers, pathways, and thoughtful details.

• A thoughtful Photo Collage titled “Frenchay through our Residents’ Eyes”, capturing local sights and finishing with a proud photo of Manor Cottage itself.

• A bold and joyful Floral Collage, bursting with colour and creative energy, featuring hand-decorated bees, blooms, and butterflies.

Each entry was a true labour of love, made with imagination, teamwork, and plenty of smiles. The residents were overjoyed to receive a rosette and certificate for their creations and had a wonderful time being part of such a meaningful community tradition.

A heartfelt congratulations to all our residents, and a big thank you to the Frenchay & Hambrook Horticultural Society for hosting another fantastic event.
