Discover the science of morning light in the morning habit benefits after 70 post as part of the Jenny MacLeod Retirement Village Wellness Series

Science confirms what gardeners already know – getting your hands in the soil is genuinely good for you after 70. Discover how gardening boosts immunity, mood, and independence, and why Jenny MacLeod's cottage gardens make it easy to keep growing.

After nearly five years of dedicated service, we farewell Village Manager Kim Simpson and welcome Darrell Priestland to Jenny MacLeod Retirement Village in Wallsend, Newcastle.

Science confirms that barefoot walking improves balance, stability and mood in older adults. Discover why it's one of the simplest wellness habits you can adopt after 70 – and how Jenny MacLeod makes it easy.
