Gardening has been a great success this summer!!! We planted a variety of vegetables and the results were fantastic! The staff, residents and family volunteers planted tomatoes,
cucumbers, purple cabbage, zucchini, strawberries, eggplant, scallions, dill, and red and green peppers. The tomatoes and cucumbers have been coming out. All of
the vegetables except for the zucchini are healthy and thriving. The residents enjoy tending to the garden. In the morning and late afternoon,
they water the garden and pull out unwanted weeds. They also enjoy talking and reminiscing about their
vegetable gardens.
