Feeling the balcony for the residents at Longueville Court was a little bit bare, Phil Smart, whose mother-in-law lives there, decided to do something about it.

He approached the management at the Van Hage Garden Park near Eye and asked if they could help.

“The balcony is a nice place for residents to sit but there was nothing to look at,” said Mr Smart. “Van Hage kindly donated three big pots with plants in, which I thought was a lovely gesture and everyone likes them.”
