SAN sponsors several events including Annual Caregiver's Recognition Dinner, Yard Clean-up, Seniors in the Park and more.
Senior Action Network funds GRuB raised garden at the Tumwater Apartments
On Wednesday April 23 Senior Action Network was pleased to sponsor the installation of three raised garden beds by the Olympia non-profit organization Garden Raised Bounty (GRuB) at the Tumwater Senior Apartments. The beds were built on site. Then stacked to provide a convenient height for elderly residents to grow their own vegetables.
SAN President, Cyndi Lounsbury, lent a hand with hammer and nails. While GruB volunteers Tony Thrash (WSU Master Gardener), Justin Rogers (Intern) and Erin Barrils (TESC) wheel barrowed and spread 2 yards of rich garden mix. Neighbor, Carole Willey along with SAN GRuB Chair Barbara Trendall provided to help spreading the compost. Tumwater Apartment resident Gem Misener cut the opening ribbon. Apartment Manager Susan Bryant is confident that the raised bed will be a great asset to this small community and the residents will find enjoyment in growing fresh produce.
Rochelle Gause, Kitchen Garden Project Coordinator reported that GRuB has 46 more gardens to build out of the 100 free gardens that are constructed each year and all volunteers are welcome. By purchasing the raised beds, SAN has been able to benefit not only these Tumwater seniors but the purchase subsidizes the free GRuB raised gardens.
