April showers may bring May flowers but until then we need to first start working on the garden and get it ready! And this is exactly what Erica Crane, Our House BSN ACRN, has started to do. Erica is in the process of reaching out to our community partners to see where we can get support for plants and tools that will be needed for the garden this year. The residents are excited as we start the gardening season and have already started to clean out the beds in preparation for the Spring weather to come. Erica is helping residents understand the importance, and procedure, needed to make this year’s garden a huge success.
In January we had approval for a student from PSU to complete her organizational experience project with the Therapeutic Garden Program. Her focus will be on program design, evaluation, and policy. She will help with many of the unmet needs: identifying these and opportunities for data collection, creating a framework from which we can all understand the steps in the process and streamlining communication. She will be here from March until August providing 150 hours of work. We are very excited to work with her as she brings experience of being a project manager and garden programmer to the table.
