Treasure Garden
Gardens are magical places and what better way to let everyone know how much you care about them than by helping them plant a treasure garden. If you do not have space outside to plant a new garden, give each resident a flowerpot and write his or her name on it. Help them to decorate the rim of the pot with paint, or glue and cutouts from magazines. Then aid in planting flower seeds - the seeds offered by AHCA (Product number 6968) are perfect for this, as they are easy to handle and are properly spaced. Planting the seeds is like burying treasure and the reward for tending to the treasure will be the beautiful flowers that grow.
