$1,520
raised by 18 people
At A.G. Rhodes, a mission-driven nonprofit nursing home provider with three communities in metro Atlanta, your generous donation to the Seeds for Seniors program will support the Horticultural Therapy Department and bring nature and healing to A.G. Rhodes nursing home residents.
The Seeds for Seniors program promotes therapeutic gardening and contact with nature such as planting herbs to increase sensory stimulation, watering to improve motor skills, and group sessions to help decrease isolation and depression.
In addition to its many physical benefits, therapeutic gardening offers a wealth of cognitive and emotional benefits, especially for older adults. It can be very relaxing, and a great form of stress release.
Spending time with plants and in garden spaces increases opportunities to socialize and interact with others, which can help alleviate depression or feelings of isolation and loneliness. It can also be very rewarding to take part in an activity where, in a relatively short amount of time, you see the results.
Your generous gift to the Seeds for Seniors program will help cover the costs of materials such as seeds, soil, pots, and other gardening items. Please consider a donation today.
