News from Magnolia@9th: Gardening

Summer’s underway at Magnolia at 9th Senior Apartments in San Bernardino!

Gardening Club: A community garden has been formed with the purpose of growing herbs, fruits, and vegetables to share among the residents. They are learning how to grow specific plants according to the season, and will eventually learn to prepare delicious, healthy dishes using their harvests. RPD Alma Wright: “I have visited the garden twice this month. The first day, I delivered soil and trellises; the other, I delivered a new plants: parsley, chives, tomatoes, onions, and lettuce, to name a few.  Resident Sandra absolutely enjoys this garden, and always keeps me informed of her neighbors’ wish lists. I try my best to provide whatever is needed. The Gardening Club works diligently caring for the garden and the grateful community has come to love and expect their harvest every week.”
