Dear Friends, The gardens at Life Enrichment Center have produced abundantly this summer giving us food and flowers for our tables. We have had such a good time in the garden watching things grow, learning about plant care, harvesting the bounty and then eating the fruits of our labor. As we look forward to fall, and then winter, we are even more excited about the prospect of continuing our gardening activities in the cheer-ful warmth of a greenhouse. Thank you for your generosity and know that your donation will enrich the lives of so many.
Sincerely,
Beth CarterHorticultural Therapist
