We really enjoyed ourselves!! This web-site is the BEST. I have set aside the other resources at my facility since I discovered Golden Cares. I am so thankful for all the work that has gone into this site. It makes my life as a recreation coordinator enjoyable. Thank you

I am starting a garden club at our senior community and am seeking assistance on setting up structure and bylaws and whatever else we need to get started right. Thanks for your help.
Hi Ken
This is very nice of you
I hope you saw the article that I put in your last post
https://www.goldencarers.com/how-to-start-a-garden-club-for-seniors/4314/
As far as bylaws go you need to ask the facility what their bylaws are
The best bet is to do a raised garden because most seniors cannot bend over and work from the ground
Perhaps someone in the maintenance department can help you make them
You may want to have an herb garden here are some ideas about that
