Blooming marvellous award

Friday 31st Oct 2025

Forest Holme Hospice scooped the Gold prize in the Loving Care Homes category at this year’s Poole in Bloom Awards for the third consecutive year. 

The talented volunteer gardening team also brought home two Bronze Awards in the Sensory Garden and Hanging Baskets & Containers categories during the presentation evening at Compton Acres, which is incredible recognition to the dedicated volunteer gardeners who lovingly care for every corner of our gardens, from the peaceful sensory courtyard that our patients’ rooms overlook, to the tranquil rear garden and the beautiful wildlife garden along the side of the hospice.
