The September Event for Edison Gardens was held on Sunday, September 17! We had 19 residents from Edison Gardens join us!! Thank you to everyone who spent a warm and sunny, Sunday afternoon at Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm in Eau Claire, Michigan!!!

The children enjoyed a tractor ride into the fruit orchards; with our tour guide, Lynne Sage, sharing with us the way God speaks to her through everyday things at the Farm. Lynne also made stops along the way so the children could pick different leaves from the fruit trees, and they were even able to break several branches off a sassafras tree to smell the pleasant aroma! Everyone was able to pick a bag of apples to bring home, and was given an apple pencil, compliments of Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm. We concluded our visit with a picnic lunch, playground activities, and a visit with the small farm animals!
