The Wake Robin raised garden beds are still vibrant and overflowing. Every year, residents can sign up to “rent” a space in the community gardens for the growing season. Residents plant anything from vegetables, to herbs, to flowers of all shapes and sizes. There are beds designated just for the Flower Committee; their colorful blooms used in arrangements found throughout the Community Center. Living in a retirement community does not mean giving up your green thumb!

The Jean Connor Library at Wake Robin holds more than just books, it’s also the home to a metal cat named Barnes Noble. Barnes belonged to a resident and traveled to a few different neighborhoods before settling in the library. Now Barnes has a new life celebrating the seasons and holidays. Kittens were soon crafted and added, and the vignettes have become more intricate. The current display is complete with a picnic table (with mini bowls of cat food), straw hats, and a little pond with fish. Little touches of whimsy are part of what make Wake Robin fun to explore!
