Recently I had the pleasure
of meeting and working with the Floral Design Class from Lone Oak High School 's horticulture department. About 25 students brought 25 poinsettias,
which they grew in their greenhouse, to the Superior Blooms Garden Club. If you
will recall, Superior Blooms is the garden club at Superior Care Nursing Home.
The students helped the residents decorate the pots (and in some cases the
plant) and also assisted in making pinecone bird feeders.
I was impressed, not only
with the exemplary plants they grew but also the way the students interacted
with the residents; very poised, caring and engaging. I am looking forward to
future projects involving the young and elderly as they learn from one another.
Thank you Mrs. Keri Green and Ms. Brittany Fortner for sharing your students
with our elderly citizens.
