Mahoning Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has a gardening club. The club works with Master Gardeners from Penn State Extension, which came today and assisted some of the residents in digging up the potatoes and sweet potatoes that were grown here in the facility.
They also brought in leaves and had the residents trace them with fall colors onto paper. Our Master Gardeners come in monthly sharing their love for gardening and expertise with our residents. This year tomatoes, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, cucumbers, and a variety of herbs were planted.
Every month their activity varies from making flower arrangements in vases, making crafts out of cords, pumpkin activities, planting seeds and taking care of gardens throughout the season. It nice to see our Garden Club growing since the Master Gardeners have been coming to the facility.
If you’d like to volunteer or learn more about Mahoning Valley Nursing and Rehabilitation Center feel free to call 570-386-5522 or drop by for a tour of our facility.
