🍓 Strawberry Planting Experiment 🍓
Did you know the seeds of a strawberry are actually on the outside? Those tiny specks are called achenes, and each one has the potential to grow into a new plant 🌱
Today we explored the idea of planting sliced strawberries to see how nature works and learn more about how fruits grow.
Strawberries are usually grown from runners (little offshoots from the main plant) or from carefully prepared seeds—but experimenting is a fun way to learn something new!
Gardening is all about curiosity, patience, and trying new things 🌼

We kicked off our garden season the best way we know how—by getting our hands dirty! 🌱🪴
Together, we planted lavender, mint, lemon mint, dill, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, green beans, peas, leeks, and kohlrabi. There’s something so special about digging in the soil, sharing stories, and watching new life begin.
We can’t wait to see everything grow—and to enjoy the harvest together! 💚

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Easter with our community at our egg hunt this year! 🐣🌷

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us, donated goodies, helped organize, and brought so much joy and laughter to our residents. Seeing the smiles, shared moments, and excitement across generations made the day truly special—even watching the hunt from the inside of the building, still brought so much joy to our residents. 💛

In addition we announced our color contest winners! Congrats to Shay Kieper, Rhett Jensen, & Addy Lamdkammer! They were gifted with some future coloring supplies and summer fun! 🖍️
