I've been researching the plants and looking at their heights, time, color, texture and foliage.

It is simply different then most gardens because we've placed potted plants in it over the years. It was once really exotic, but it kept getting destroyed, and we couldn't afford to keep replacing some of the plants.

If you see a weed on campus it's my fault. I like being outside, and if it's cold and I'm working, then I'm ok. I guess I'm devoted, sometimes too devoted.

The foliage holds its color all summer - even in heat and drought.

Color and texture are just as important as flavor, and these vegetables can make a big difference.

We have painted our walls and added quilts for texture, pictures of home and farm life to make the area as homelike as possible. We add new ideas and change the atmosphere to meet the needs of our residents.
