This summer we had huge success growing our tomatoes and giant sunflowers in the courtyard. We've had requests to grow more of these colossal beauties so we have harvested the seeds ready to be sown in Spring 2024. A big thanks goes out to our green fingered residents, activities coordinator Lisa and our very talented groundsman Dave.
