A look back at some warm and happy moments from our community and kitchen garden this season. The colors, harvests, and quiet beauty captured throughout the year have been a joy for us all to look back on.

Many shared how much they enjoyed spending time in the garden this year — from tending plants to simply taking in the scenery.

We’re grateful for everything the garden provided and already looking forward to next season’s growth. Here’s to another year of beauty, connection, and moments that brighten our days. ❤️

For the first time, 20 residents of Beacon Hill at Eastgate have created a collaborative entry for ArtPrize called “Ageless Art.” Residents, ages 74–99, worked alongside artist and instructor Jennifer Helner of Scripted Expressions, who leads weekly art classes on our campus.

Each resident contributed a 10-inch square piece on the theme of nature—from watercolors and pastels to oils, sketches, and even a hand-sculpted piece. Together, they form a beautiful triptych celebrating creativity, community, and the joy of art at every age.
