Youth plan and build Zen garden at Achieve

Posted

LIBERTY, NY — Achieve Rehab and Nursing Facility in Liberty recently had a ribbon cutting for the unveiling of a new Zen garden. Over six weeks, youth workers who participated in Sullivan County Center for Workforce Development’s Summer Youth Employment Program helped to plan and design the garden. Two large planters are filled with sand and rocks and are at wheelchair height in order for the residents to use the interactive Zen garden. The garden also includes a pond, butterfly bushes, blueberry bushes and various dwarf apple trees. The summer youth employment group from Achieve, clockwise from left, are Frank Smith Jr., Pria Budhram, Alexandra Julson (crew leader), Shakiah York, Kelli Conklin and Destiny Highbaugh.
