Dedication of the new Valley Manor Courtyard Garden

We recently had the formal dedication of our new Valley Manor courtyard garden. After several months of planning and renovation work, the final product was completed and we are thrilled with the results. The new area is much more accessible and safe for residents and the beauty of the design provides a wonderful place for outside group activities or peaceful individual enjoyment.

The "before renovation" pictures to follow illustrate the vast improvement. In addition to replacing all the brick work, we added a gazebo and water fall pond. We reused many of the plants, but reworked the layout and added many other plants and amenities to the courtyard.

This project was only possible through the generous contributions of the Valley Manor residents over the past 2 years and a special gift from the Schmitt Foundation in honor and recognition of former Valley Manor CEO, Mike Walker.

We look forward to many splendid hours and activities enjoying the beauty of our new Valley Manor courtyard garden.

Congratulations to Sam Scorsone in Purchasing who won the $25 Wegmans gift certificate random drawing from last week's Blog.
