Chester and Ruth Kendall, two of our independent living residents, had a seasonal idea that’s already taking root.
Inspired by the spirit of fall, the Kendalls started a small pumpkin patch — lovingly named “Charlie Brown’s Pumpkin Patch.”
“Somebody asked, ‘Why Charlie Brown’s Pumpkin Patch?’ And I said, ‘Didn’t he have the great one?’” Ruth Kendall laughed.
Perfectly timed for Halloween, their idea is already bringing smiles and excitement to the community. They hope the patch will produce plenty of pumpkins for carving contests and giveaways, creating fun for residents and their families alike.
We look forward to watching it grow — and seeing this festive idea blossom into a new fall tradition at The Birches. 🎃
