Garden Therapy hosted its first session of the year at Autumn Lake in Crofton, bringing a burst of spring creativity to residents and volunteers alike. Led by Project Chair CJ Salisbury, Crofton Village Garden Club members gathered to help residents craft their own cheerful spring scenes.

Nineteen residents participated, each creating a seasonal project with assistance from CVGC volunteers. Smiles were plentiful, and the room buzzed with conversation and creativity. One resident was so proud of her work that she returned with a camera to take photos and share them with her son and grandchildren. Her project, she said, would be a special gift when they visit.

Many thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers: Project Chair CJ Salisbury, Carol Buhr, Nancy Durose, Trish Demers, Heather Marken, and Carol Schoenfeld. Their time and care helped make the first session of the year a memorable one for everyone involved.

Carol Buhr, Project Chair for Garden Therapy, along with dedicated club members, assisted the residents of Crofton Care and Rehabilitation Center in creating beautiful flower arrangements during a hands-on workshop. The residents were guided through the process of selecting and arranging flowers, allowing them to express their creativity while enjoying the therapeutic benefits of floral design. Once completed, the residents were able to take the arrangements back to their rooms to enjoy, brightening their spaces with vibrant colors and fragrant blooms. This long-standing tradition is an important part of the Crofton Village Garden Club’s outreach, providing comfort and joy to the residents of the center while fostering a deeper connection between the club and the local community.

Diane Smith, Project Chair for Garden Therapy, held a Valentine's Day hands-on floral design workshop for the residents of Crofton Care and Rehabilitation Center. CVGC members helped participants create lovely floral arrangements to take back to their rooms to enjoy.
