DCMGA at Source Point
December 2024
On December 5 Susan Liechty, Gayle O’Sullivan, and Gretta Kumpf provided a presentation and hands-on experience at SourcePoint on “Microgreens- Parsley, Peas and Popcorn Shoots." A class of 20 participants eagerly listened and joined in the fun of creating their own microgreen clam shell mini greenhouse. A colorful informative slideshow was provided, and a tasting experience of radish, popcorn and basal microgreens was enjoyed by all!
Therapeutic Gardening at The Avalon of Lewis Center
December 2024
We finished off the year full of good cheer with our friends at The Avalon of Lewis Center. What a creative bunch! The residents created beautiful wreaths, angels, trees and snowmen with a piece of wood, seaglass and glue. Bingo, prizes, a Christmas sing along and lots of treats completed our morning together! A joyful time was had by all.
