We gathered pictures of residents with their sweetheart. Some were recent pictures, some were wedding pictures from long ago. Some were with their pet!

Great idea! We used some maple branches buried in a vase with some stones for various seasons. A “grateful tree” for Thanksgiving. Leaves were attached to the tree with things residents and families were grateful for. During Easter we had decorations painted by the residents on display. Trees aren’t just for Christmas anymore:)

Hi Janice ,
What I did to make mine is I found some branches attached to a thick trunk ,which I then after cleaning it off set into a pot with plaster of paris ,once set I painted it ( I did ours white) or you could leave it natural ,then the residents decorated it with assorted leaves ,flowers ,snowflakes etc each season .Hope this helps

I love this idea, but I am having difficulties finding a Cherry Blossom Tree (faux). Thought about making one out of the stems…cost too much. Checked with Costco and they no longer carry this type of tree. Any suggestions???? Thanks.

Hi Janice
You could make the tree out of newspaper simply roll the pages diagonally and put them all together use a cup to put all the branches in and then paste the pictures on the branches
You can also use a wall decal such as the one suggested by
Candace
You could also make one for the wall out of construction paper

Lovely Idea! I bought a wall decal instead of a stand alone tree. Looking forward to making this happen with my residents :)

Thanks for your feedback Candace! If you can, send in a pic when you're done, we'd love to see how it turned out!

love this idea. I have purchased one from e bay to use. I think this would be great to share for those clients who are bed bound and use this as a theme for discussion and move it around to each person, changing the theme to their specific interests. Leave it in their rooms for a week in turn.
stimulate senses and aid one on one visits.
