A beautiful fall day

A beautiful fall day spent with some very special volunteers!

Our longtime friends from Pine Tree Garden Club recently joined A.G. Rhodes DeKalb elders to plant fall annuals through our Horticultural Therapy program.

This wonderful group has been volunteering with us for years, generously sharing their time and love of gardening. We're grateful for their continued friendship and dedication to our elders and community.

Thank you, Pine Tree Garden Club!
