In today's November Garden Discovery Program, the group explored the fall garden full of flowers and seed heads, savored herbal tea, and shared thoughts about what they noticed and felt grateful for.
Participants learned the sensory joy of harvesting chive seeds from dried chive flower heads, cut from Maude's garden. As we tapped the dried chive flowers inside a paper cup, we all heard a wonderful sound as the seeds fell and the seed pods crunched. In the nature-inspired project, Dawn Robinson demonstrated how to create glass votives decorated with fall leaves. "I think this is really pretty and I'll enjoy it so much.
"Since I've acquired memory loss, so much of my day is filled with thoughts of "I can't do this anymore" -- and this is like the opposite of that. It was fun and simple and flies in the face of what I can't do anymore. It's nice to be in the frame of reference of things I can do."
