The Outdoors, Reimagined For Later Life
For many of our residents, time spent in the garden was a cherished part of daily life. At Brook View, that doesn’t change. In fact, it flourishes.
Our garden is more than a green space; it’s a beautifully designed, fully accessible extension of home. Whether your loved one prefers gentle pottering, a morning walk, or simply a cup of tea in the shade, the garden is always there. Quiet, restorative, and ready to be enjoyed – on their terms.
A Tranquil Space To Be Among Nature
At Colten Care we pride ourselves on our beautiful and stimulating gardens. We recognise many of our residents had such gardens themselves, and gardening may have been a special pastime for them.
We offer residents of Brook View the opportunity to continue that pastime in whatever way they feel appropriate.
Gardening Done the Right Way
At Brook View, we’re proud to have our own dedicated gardener. Not a visiting contractor, but a familiar face who knows every corner of the garden, every season, and every resident who enjoys it.
Great gardens don’t happen by chance. They’re nurtured with care, consistency, and pride.
Our gardener works closely with residents and our Companionship Team to shape the space not just beautifully, but meaningfully. From preparing raised beds to supporting Gardening Club, they help turn simple outdoor moments into something personal, whether that’s picking herbs for lunch, planting spring bulbs, or simply swapping tips over a cup of tea.
A permanent gardener means more than neat borders. It means attention to detail, continuity across the seasons, and a space that feels truly alive, all year round.
“Gardens are not made by singing ‘Oh, how beautiful,’ and sitting in the shade.” – Rudyard Kipling
