Fife councillor Joe Rosiejak and his wife Dorothy have been showing their green-fingered support for a gardening project at Gillie Court Care Home.
Dorothy’s late mother was a tenant at the Dunfermline care home run by Bield and, since she died, her daughter has been an enthusiastic volunteer.
Joe and Dorothy’s keen involvement with the development meant that when residents requested a little colour in their lives, they decided a garden makeover would be the perfect answer.
Joe secured the help of the 39th and 40th Fife Scout groups, who took on the challenge as part of the national campaign for Scout Community Week.
The efforts were sponsored by B&Q, who made their own contribution by volunteering staff and flowers.
Joe also received technical assistance from members of Fife Council.
He said: “Gillie Court has played a significant part in the lives of my wife and I, so we are always keen to help out in any way that we can.
“It was really great to see the transformation of the garden and to have the support and help from the Scouts and the local B&Q has been great.
“Together, we have all managed to create a beautiful garden, which residents at Gillie Court can enjoy whenever they wish.”
Bield fundraiser Kevin Rowe added: “It is brilliant to have a green outside space that looks as beautiful as it does.
“I am sure all the residents will love spending time in it.
“Joe and Dorothy have created a relaxing and serene place which tenants can enjoy, which is great.”
