RESIDENTS at a local care home are celebrating after scooping a gardening award.

Hammerwich Hall Care Home was crowned the winner of Advinia in Bloom, beating 35 other care properties across the country.

Judges were impressed by the home's vegetable garden, which yielded produce used in making meals for residents.
