Yet gardening tasks are divided evenly among them and no one complains about the rigorous hands-on nature of the work. In fact it has become their greatest therapy. Something for everyone seems to be the common theme here.
Every contribution is acknowledged, appreciated and usable.

A lot of individuals don t come down from their units unless they re attending the gardening activity. Many of the participants have taken a great liking to Scott. They come down to see him and to get involved in the program.
