J ewish Senior Life celebrated the grand opening of its new JSL Community Garden on the Jewish Community Campus in Oak Park. The garden brings together resi- dents of the Teitel and Prentis apartments, along with volun- teer community Master Gardeners and others to enrich the lives of JSL residents. The garden allows residents to use their "green thumbs" to grow and care for outdoor plants and flowers. The organic vegetable harvest provides healthy produce for residents to enjoy, with additional produce donated to local feeding agencies. "This community garden represents the best in partner- ships to improve the quality of life of older adults in our community," said Nancy Heinrich, JSL CEO. "We are grateful to our residents, volunteers and community partners who helped bring this garden to fruition for the enjoyment of our residents and the beautification of our cam- pus." Volunteer Master Gardeners are Julie and Shaul Englender, Joyce Harding, Jerry Rubin and Carol Scheuer. Michigan State University's Tollgate Farm supported the pro- gram with garden planning and seedlings. The garden is divided into two sections of multiple garden beds, united by an arbor that can be used as a sukkah. Oak Park Mayor Marian McClellan, on hand for the ribbon cutting, offered to donate sunflower stalks to use as a covering for the future sukkah. The stalks will come from sunflowers planted all around Oak Park. Donations are needed to purchase additional security and decorative lighting as well as hand tools and other gardening paraphernalia. To support this project, contact Colleen Janis at (248) 967-2224 or cjanis@ jslmi.org. • Grand Opening JSL's new garden gives seniors a chance to grow. Raised beds contain small plants that will yield organic vegetables. Guests stroll through the new garden.
