Plants of Joy

A Little Piece of Nature for Older Adults

Plants of Joy shares small, already-established potted plants with residents of participating nursing homes and senior communities.

We believe that even a small plant can bring a touch of nature, a little color, and something beautiful to enjoy.

Why We Share Already-Potted Plants?

We chose already potted plants so residents can enjoy the beauty of a living plant
without needing to handle soil, plant seeds, or wait for something to grow.

No Soil to Handle

Residents don't need to work
with soil or gardening materials.

No Seeds to Plant

The plants are already
established and ready to enjoy.

No Waiting to Grow

Enjoy a living plant right away
no waiting for it to grow.

Each Gift May Include

One Small Potted Plant

A small, already-established plant selected to bring a little nature and color indoors.

One Peaceful Garden Message Card

A simple message created to remind each resident that someone is thinking of them.

Simple Care Instructions

When appropriate, easy-to-follow care instructions may be included with the plant.

Our Message

“A Little Plant of Joy”

May this little plant bring a touch of nature,
a little color, and something beautiful to enjoy.

Thinking of you with kindness.

Residents Come First

Before providing plants, Peaceful Garden will work with each participating facility to understand and follow its safety and resident-care guidelines.

Every facility and community may have different needs, policies, and requirements. Plants of Joy will be planned with those guidelines in mind so that each gift is appropriate for the
residents and the setting.

Residents Come First

Help bring a Little Piece of Nature and joy
to older adults in our community.
