The Rotary Club of Downtown Ormond Beach recently built planters for the residents at Gold Choice Assisted Living Facility.
According to a press release, the club purchased wood and built the planters out of recycled 55-gallon drums, donated by Barrel Man in DeLand. Six members then visited the assisted living facility and filled the planters with potting soil and plants donated by Big League Landscape in Holly Hill. They placed the planters in front of the dining room windows, allowing the residents to watch the proceedings from inside, the release states. The members also removed vines from trees overhead the planters, to provide more sunlight for the flowers.
This is the club's latest service to Gold Choice. In the past, members have brought Christmas gifts to the residents, and sent magazines and personal greeting cards. To learn more, visit RotaryDOB.com
