Success for Mulberry Lodge at the New Homes Garden Awards 2010

The landscaped gardens are always one of the best aspects of any Churchill Retirement Living retirement development, and Mulberry Lodge in Emsworth, this has now been officially recognised, as it has won a Silver in this year's New Homes Garden Awards. Mulberry Lodge won its award in the Best Landscaped Retirement Development (Volume Sector) category.

The New Homes Garden Awards are held in association with Express newspapers and are recognised as the ‘Golden Globes' of the garden and landscape design world, rewarding excellence, innovation, creativity and sustainability in the design and construction of gardens, landscapes and outdoor space around new homes. They are prestigious awards and only given for truly outstanding gardens.

All Churchill Retirement Living developments have beautiful gardens, which are much appreciated by the Owners of the apartments, many of whom have downsized from larger homes where they had their own gardens to tend. As people near retirement age, the upkeep of these big gardens often becomes too much of a chore, and it is frequently cited as a reason for moving to a Churchill development, where the grounds are professionally maintained. However, at many of the Lodges the Owners continue to take an active interest in the gardens, sometimes even bringing a treasured plant or ornament from their old home.

As well as award winning gardens, Churchill Retirement Living offers Secure and Independent living in developments of self contained one and two bedroom apartments. Owners benefit from the services of a Lodge Manager, 24 hour Careline, an Owners' Lounge, Guest Suite and laundry room. All the Lodges are in convenient and attractive locations close to essential amenities such as shops, GP surgeries, and public transport connections.
