let residents paint their own rocks, Pinterest has tons of DIY flowers to make out of construction paper, tissue paper, putting them in painted pots or hanging from trees- group murals, putting tiny white lights in trees or on the ground with the painted rocks would look nice. Amazon has DIY birdhouses the residents could paint and hang

Hey, how about having each resident do planting in pots from medium to large to sit along the outside, and schedule residents to water on watering day with a light weight hose while other have ice cream and popsicles, a great way to bring in the summer while watching what they plant grow. let me know if this works for you and how they enjoyed it.

Hi Trudy

Thanks for the suggestions

We took full size wooden pallets and painted them. One has a large sun burst coming from the corner and the rest of the pallet is blue. another one has a favorite quote that was painted on using stencils.

plant things with climbing vines, such as pumpkins or cucumbers and measure the growth, you can do the same with sunflowers.

plant things in something less conventional, such as succulents in a bird bath, tip a galvanized tub on its side so flowers look like they are spilling out.

make plant identifiers with beads and thicker bendable wire

I took old wooden spoons and wood burned funny different garden sayings on them.
