Fun, flair and friendships. That’s what our Senior Classes committee create during our hour-long sessions with seniors in Framingham senior residences. Over 20 FGC members conduct floral/plant design and crafts workshops at Heritage Senior Living and Carmel Terrace with one goal in mind – to encourage the art and joy of floral design in our senior community.
Each team member creates a design prototype or craft that they demonstrate. With the help of our members, enthusiastic seniors apply their own unique and often lifelong ideas and talents to make their own arrangement or craft for their residences for holidays, seasons or special events, like St. Patrick’s Day. They’ve also created floral gifts for friends and have painted beach rocks for paper weights.
In the process senior residents feel a sense of personal satisfaction – enhancing their skills, learning new talents, and appreciating each other’s creations and friendships. For members, our Senior Classes program allows us to share our love of design in our community, create a fun experience for these seniors, often former garden club members, and bring the beauty of flower gardens into their homes.
