NEWS Nearlywed All the latest from around the county STEP INTO THE GARDEN OF WELLNESS Set to launch this spring, Riverhills Healthy Club and Day Spa in Ipswich announce an exciting collaboration with renowned gardener and presenter, Ade Sellars. His mission has been to redesign the stunning spa gardens ahead of its highly anticipated relaunch. Known as ‘The Good Life Gardener’, Ade brings an innovative and holistic approach to the garden’s redesign. He has seamlessly blended luxury with nature to create the perfect wellness retreat. As an award-winning gardening expert, with a wealth of experience from RHS events and national publications, Ade is bringing his signature creativity to this project, central to Riverhills’ mission of redefining wellness. Ade states, “It’s incredibly exciting to be part of such an extensive project. Riverhills’ owner, Dave Courteen, has given me the creative freedom to come up with something truly unique that will reflect both the ethos of Riverhills and the beautiful surroundings it’s set in. ”Plants, wildlife and being outside have great positive health benefits for the mind, body, and soul, so it makes sense that the club should embark on such a ‘wellbeing’ project.” The garden will be an extension of the spa itself, inviting guests to immerse themselves in the restorative power of nature; it will have fragrant and colourful planting schemes, immersive pathways, and serene seating areas to promote mindfulness and rejuvenation. This project is part of a broader redevelopment of Riverhills, which includes state-of-the-art spa facilities such as a Snowsky Snow Shower, stunning vitality pool, aroma steam room and Volcano sauna.
