This is the thirty-third day of my research assistant role of the Youth Garden Project. Today's location was at one of the two City of Tuskegee Nursing Homes and Tuskegee University Green house.
What is a Nursing Home?
A residential facility for persons with chronic illness or disability, particularly older people who have mobility and eating problems. Also called a convalescent home, long-term care facility.
That's exactly where I started today's work task. The nursing home is Magnolia Haven and there they have 77 certified beds and 73 residents. For the resident we--research assistants--saw the need to establish a raised garden bed for the residents. The residents can view the plants outside their window 24 hours and 7 days of the week. We planted corn, watemelon, strawberry, okra, flowers, peas, and beans.
