VHCC
garden club
Versailles Health Care Center, a skilled nursing and rehabilitation
center, is always busy creating new and exciting opportunities for
residents and family members to come together. Everyone enjoys having a
fun time working together within the local community on enriching
projects. Recently, VHCC has begun planting flowers and garden
vegetables in their flower beds.
VHCC residents also enjoy working on the raised flower beds provided
and located at the Worch Memorial Public Library. All of our
flower beds are easily accessible while standing or sitting in their
chair. This makes it easier for individuals to access the flower
beds. Any items used in the flower beds must be organic, so it is
safe for everyone to use.
The VHCC activity department is proud to announce the addition of
Mother Nature’s Original Fertilizer which is being used in their garden
areas. Family members and residents enjoy using the organic
natural soil enhancer in the flower beds because it is easy to work
with and locally manufactured. This special fertilizer offers
healthier growth options for plants, and was donated by long-term care
resident Delores William’s family, from Green Thumb Worm Castings, LLC.
The fertilizer is created from worm castings. These worm castings
come from rich digested soil that the worms leave behind. They
are rich in nutrients and microorganisms that are beneficial for plant
growth. They also fight disease to help keep the plants healthy
and productive year long.
Chemicals are not used in the production of the fertilizer and it is
safe to use around children and pets. There is no odor to worry
about, and it will not damage the plants. Directions on how to
use the fertilizer for optimum growth is included in their
brochure. More information on this fertilizer can be found at
their website: greenthumbwormcastings.com.
VHCC invites everyone to stop by and see how beautiful their flowers
are throughout the summer. Stop in for a visit and see our
beautiful enclosed courtyards!
