Lois Finlay Memorial Craft/Harvest Sale

During our craft/harvest sale, we had a nice time in the garden making 'pine cone' flowers.

Here is Marilyn showing us the technique....

They all end up looking very unique.

The sunshine was kind enough to show up too!

Craft/harvest sale still on!

Yes, it's raining, but the Craft/Harvest Sale is still happening! I hope to put up tarps or we will set up in our shed. See you there!

Look how tall the broom corn has grown in the KidzGrow Garden!

Friends of the Family Senior Care's mums are starting to bloom nicely.

Hibiscus flowers are still fantastic at this time of year.

Herbs for Health & Beauty

Parsley has been known to minimize swelling and redness of the skin around irritated eyes. It also lightens and evens out discoloured skin tone. You can make a parsley honey mask to reduce blackheads and wrinkles. Here is a recipe:

2 tablespoons of chopped parsley

1 egg yolk

1 tablespoon of honey

Mix parsley and egg yolk in a blender. Add honey and blend. Apply to neck and face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

For more ideas, be sure to attend the Horticultural Therapy Teaching Session on DIY Health & Beauty Products on August 23rd, 7-8 pm in the GEG.

Garden Art with Playsense Teens

A lovely day to be in the Garden. Playsense visited and did some artwork that involved a tracing of their hand incorporated with images from nature.

The Garden provided us with inspiration as we worked with a wide variety of art supplies.

Everyone should be very proud of their work in the Garden today!

The Garden's Blooming Beautifully

Here are some snapshots of some of the raised beds at the GEG. Above is Independent Living's bed filled with marigolds, impatiens, cornflower, sweet peas, and strawflowers.

Riverside Glen's bed is doing well. Dahlias are peeking out to enjoy the view.

The kiwi vine is filled with lots of miniature kiwi fruit.

Riverside Residences' bed is overflowing with interesting sights.
