What a beautiful and simple idea. I love that you have used Australian native flowers that can be found in most nursing home gardens. I am sure that my residents will love making one of these wreaths for Advent
It was once tradition for the Pope to give someone a pink rose on the fourth Sunday of Lent before Easter of cheer up the solemn nature of that season. Before the commercialization of Christmas, Advent was also a very solemn time for Christians; people use to practice fasting and repentance; hence the pink rose became the pink candle to 'liven-up' the tone of the season.

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
