Seedlings On 44 Nursery recently held a charity event for SPA Community Trust, an organization that aims to improve the quality of life of vulnerable elderly people with non-communicable diseases in the community. The nursery donated seedlings for vegetable gardens and nutritious food, as well as trained the elderly on how to care for the plants.
The event, where they celebrated centurions, was a huge success, with many people coming out to support the cause. Seedlings 44 Nursery donated over 1,000 seedlings, and the elderly participants were excited to learn about gardening and how to grow their own food.
Gardening is a great way for seniors to improve their physical and mental health. It can also help to reduce stress, provide a sense of purpose, and promote social interaction. Additionally, fresh vegetables are a good source of nutrients that are essential for seniors’ health.
Seedlings On 44 Nursery’s donation of seedlings and training for the elderly is a wonderful example of how the community can come together to support the health and well-being of seniors.

Tips for Gardening for Seniors
If you are a senior who is interested in gardening, here are a few tips:
✔ Start small. Don’t try to do too much too soon. Start with a small garden that you can easily manage.
✔ Choose plants that are easy to care for. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and beans.
✔ Plant in raised beds. This can make it easier to reach your plants and avoid bending over.
✔ Use drip irrigation. This is a water-efficient way to water your plants.
✔ Fertilize your plants regularly. This will help them to grow strong and healthy.
✔ Weed your garden regularly. Weeds can compete with your plants for water and nutrients.
✔ Harvest your vegetables regularly. This will encourage the plants to produce more vegetables.
Gardening can be a rewarding experience for seniors of all ages. By following these tips, you can enjoy the benefits of gardening without putting too much strain on your body.
