A gardening seminar, “Stop and Smell the Flowers,” is scheduled for 55PLUS members on Tuesday, April 29 at the Common Scents Green house south of Barnett Park on Hwy. 83. Three different seminars will be held at 1 p.m., 3 p.m. or 5:30 p.m.

55PLUS members are asked to BYOC (Bring Your Own Container). Community Hospital will provide one flower, and the Common Scents staff will assist attendees in choosing additional flowers to fill the container. The staff will provide education about different types of flowers and plants and choosing the right ones for sunny and shady locations. Attendees will be standing at worktables for the hour-long seminar.

Andrea Wunibald, Occupational Therapist, will also discuss joint and muscle protection techniques to make gardening more comfortable, safe and fun. Refreshments will be served.
