Mulberry Court residents enjoy tulips at Burnby Hall gardens

Mulberry Court in Rawcliffe took residents to Burnby Hall gardens in Pocklington to enjoy the final day of the venue’s tulip festival.

Burnby Hall was a gift from Major Stewart to the local community and each year welcomes thousands of visitors to its gardens.

Rachael Moss, general manager at Mulberry Court, said: “Our garden is a much-loved space; our residents really enjoy looking after the plants and flowers and watching them grow and change through the seasons.

“It has been wonderful to see all the beautiful garden designs at Burnby Hall, it has given us real inspiration to try some new planting schemes and see what we can achieve in our own garden.”

During the outing, residents enjoyed feeding the large carp, chatting with the garden team, and reminiscing about their own favourite plants.

Norman, a resident at Mulberry Court, said: “I just love to come here.

“It has brought back so many wonderful memories for me, and it is just so lovely to see all the gorgeous blooms and beautiful colours.”

Mulberry Court is operated by Barchester Healthcare.
