Covenant Place resident Marilyn Bender has found serenity, inspiration, and purpose through her garden box filled with vibrant “sun patients” flowers. Even as fall settles in, their blooms continue to brighten her days—and her heart.
Each afternoon, Marilyn and her beloved dog Casey stroll through the garden, soaking in the beauty and calm it offers. “These flowers remind me of my home in Pennsylvania,” she shares. “Every day I look out my window and think about how good God is.”
Neighbors often stop by to admire the blooms and share memories of their own gardening days. “It’s good for my soul,” Marilyn says. “It gives me peace of mind and something to look forward to.”
Thanks to EveryAge and the Carol Woods Foundation, this garden has become a cherished space for connection, reflection, and joy—for Marilyn, Casey, and the entire Covenant Place community. 🌿💚
