Hello everyone, this is Leigh, the Executive Director at Gardens on Quail, and I’m delighted to recount the wonderful experience we had creating floral arrangements from our very own garden beds.
The Power of Gardening
We often underestimate the therapeutic value of engaging with nature. This activity was not only creatively stimulating but also provided a meditative space for our residents. Medical research even supports the idea that gardening can improve mental well-being, alleviate stress, and offer physical benefits through gentle exercise.
Our Blooming Garden Beds
This morning, we cut flowers from the garden beds we have been tending and used them in floral arrangements.
Crafting Floral Arrangements
Residents gathered around tables with vases, ribbons, and freshly cut flowers. Each person chose blooms and arranged them in their own way.
Shared Moments
This was a bonding experience for everyone involved. Conversations flowed as easily as the arrangements came together, and we all took a moment to appreciate the beauty around us—both in the flowers and in the community we’ve built here.
A Sustainable Activity
The flowers for our arrangements came from our own garden beds.
We hope to make floral arrangement sessions a recurring event, so watch this space for more.
Thank you all for making this morning so special.
Best, Mariah
