Green-fingered residents at Eilean Dubh Care Home in Fortrose are celebrating back-to-back show successes, bringing home an impressive haul of 30 prizes from two local events.
Their latest triumph came at the Black Isle Horticultural Society Show, where they collected 19 awards – including six first prizes, ten second places and three third places – for their home-grown plants and vegetables, cut flowers, photographs and planters.
Just days earlier, at the Black Isle Show, Eilean Dubh collected three first prizes, six second places and two third places for their plants, photography and crafts. Every entry was grown or created at the home, with residents and families pitching in to prepare exhibits for the big day.
Wellbeing Coordinator Fiona Stoddart said: “I am so proud of our residents. From planting and watering to arranging displays, everyone played their part, and it’s wonderful to see our residents’ talents recognised. The shows have brought real joy and pride to our home.
“We’re hugely grateful to the families and volunteers who helped us prepare and supported us along the way. These wins mean so much to us all and have inspired us to aim even higher next year!”
