Cress Heads
Cress Heads Activity Director Thank you Sue and Rachel great ideas worth trying Nurse Cant wait to try this with our residents. We recently had a go at growing avocado stones that I had seen on Gardening Australia, and much to our residents joy we had success with six out of ten of the stones. Gardening Australia's web site gave me all the details on how to do this, and It certainly is worth trying. Activities Therapist Going to try this out!
