I also worked with a senior citizens group at a day center in Ulster County once per week doing ‘garden therapy’. More recently we have moved to our Wallkill home where I continue to garden, but have mainly focused on Easy Care plants. It’s a constant struggle to keep plants, shrubs, and trees to a ‘manageable’ level since I have loved so many plants over the years. If you ask me one minute what my favorite is, the next minute I could choose something else. But practically speaking…as retired life goes on, “my garden has to look good with minimum care as we age.”
I have begun to pass the love of gardening on to my grown children who have homes of their own now, and four grandchildren who are the loves of my life.
