BLESS!

Crestwood residents were so delighted with their newly redeveloped garden, The Dell, they marked the occasion with a blessing ceremony.

It started with a Powhiri before each resident contributed – a poem from Trish, a blessing from Glenyss, a waiata by Eve and a closing reading by Susan. The residents gifted guests of honour – Bark gardeners Dharini and Jack – fruit baskets to show their appreciation.

The event was beautifully organised by resident Susan Healy who lives with her 100-year-old mother, Mary.
