Days are becoming shorter and nights are slowly cooling, fall time is fast approaching! Today was the day for us to prepare our garden for the cooler months ahead. It was expected that our weather would reach the triple digits today so we ventured out to the garden well prepared. We started early in the morning; and clients kept cool and hydrated by wearing wet rags over their heads and sipping on ice water. Clients were eager to begin work in the garden and were busily weeding and turning the soil in the flower beds. We planted seven mums, three pansy plants, and sixteen marigolds. While planting the flowers the clients engaged in casual conversation with staff and their peers; there were also many quiet, reflective moments. Once they were finished planting the flowers all the clients stood back from the flower beds and admired their hard work. Next on our agenda for the day is to plant two hundred-nineteen bulbs, which include crocus, paperwhites and a variety of tulips. Come springtime we invite you to return to our blog to view pictures of our spring blooms!
