Spreading some cheer. Brightening some days.

Kaitlyn Wasilewski, FFA Advisor and Northmor Local School District Ag Teacher and a group of six Northmor FFA members cut, arranged, and delivered flowers from the Perry Cook Community Garden to residents at Country Meadow Nursing Home, as well as some Johnsville community residents.

This project was made possible through an Ohio FFA Foundation Chapter Success Grant, funded by the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

We enjoyed sharing this experience with this group, and look forward to more gardening projects with Northmor FFA.
