SOWING & GROWING AT GREEN PASTURES

June 2010
A group of residents at Green Pastures Christian Nursing Home have sown flower and vegetable seeds, nurtured them and planted them outdoors in containers, raised beds and garden areas.

Most reflected on their past gardens and gardening experiences prior to relocating to the nursing home and all showed their real delight in being able to garden once again. One gentleman brought me his photograph album of his very beautiful and extensive garden that was his pride and joy and great gardening expertise. Using particular techniques and methods of working, horticultural activities were successfully reintroduced to the group through a carefully prepared programme of therapeutic horticulture.
