At Aspiring Village, it’s no secret that our dedicated gardening team goes above and beyond to maintain the stunning gardens and green spaces that surround our community at our Wanaka retirement village. The rewards of this are never more evident than during the season of Spring.
This season brings a rich sensory experience: the air is scented by blooming Daphnes, vibrant Hyacinths and Daffodils line the pathways, and soft foliage invites a gentle touch. It’s a beautiful reminder of the care and passion that goes into every garden bed.
Aspiring Village residents can have as much or as little input into their personal garden as they please. Gardening for many of our residents is both an incredible way to keep physically fit but also contributes to mental wellbeing.
Our shared garden beds continue to thrive, and the community herb garden, located near the entrance of the Lifestyle Centre, continues to be a popular spot for all to enjoy.
We’re also excited to welcome two new members to the Gardening Team! With the growing season just around the corner, it’s all hands on deck to ensure our village continues to flourish.
“Spring brings life into the village. For many residents, the garden is their happy place. Whether they like working in it themselves or simply enjoying the spring blooms and bulbs, it is the ideal time to reconnect with each other and with nature.” – Yoka, Head Gardner
