You might remember reading about one of our new projects called "Growing Together" where volunteers team up with seniors to make indoor herb gardens just in time for winter. Who woulnd't enjoy the summery taste of basil on a gray winter day?
The project is a chance for intergenerational groups to work together on a project that enriches both their lives. People of different ages get to learn a little bit more about each other while also making an environmentally friendly herb garden (notice below how many of our plant containers are made using old soup cans). The herbs will promote healthy eating and cooking at home throughout the winter. And having something green to look at in contrast to the bare trees of winter will be nice too!
We're doing these projects at senior houses all over New York City, so if you'd like to join us contact volunteer@metcouncil.org
