It’s Flower Friday

It’s Flower Friday at A.G. Rhodes DeKalb!

Thanks to cut flowers donated by Trader Joe’s Midtown, elders create beautiful bouquets on Fridays to brighten their rooms or share with others. Along the way, they’re exercising creativity, fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

A beautiful way to end the week! 🌷💐
