Getting out of the house for a few hours can do wonders for elderly person’s mental health.
We recently took some of our clients, and a few family members, to the fabulous Dobbies Garden Centre on the outskirts of Stratford-upon-Avon.
Dobbies Garden Centre
Dobbies is set in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside just outside the historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon. They offer an extensive range of plants and garden products as well as indoor plants, homewares and gifts. They also have a farm shop as well as a lovely restaurant serving a range of food.
Afternoon Tea
The afternoon tea at Dobbies is fantastic value for money. You can choose either traditional or Vegan afternoon tea and both include 3 tiers of delicious savoury and sweet treats. All of our clients opted for the traditional afternoon tea and were most impressed with the selection.
The bottom tier had a selection of freshly made finger sandwiches filled with egg mayonnaise & watercress, mature cheddar & pickle, tuna mayonnaise and cucumber & Wiltshire ham. Tier 2 had Dobbies famous scones, one plain and one fruit scone, served with Cornish clotted cream & a pot of Bonne Maman jam. The top tier had scrumptious selection of delicious, sweet treats including a chocolate delice, raspberry mousse, banana bread and meringue kisses.
