I'm glad inspiration struck just in time!<br /><br />Joanne - thank you. Sadly V has dementia so probably won't remember that I did it, but it certainly won't stop her from enjoying it. Good gardens are most important for dementia sufferers, so it saddens me that the home is very poor in that respect.<br /><br />Susan - the other residents which have rooms around that courtyard will also be able to see it. I'm hoping that with time, the courtyard will also have interesting planting just like your mother enjoys, even if I have to transform it myself!<br /><br />Debbi & Angelcat - thanks. And good to see you both again :)<br /><br />Rose - I spotted that one of the other residents now has a birdbath/feeder outside their window, so it looks like my aunts previous gift has inspired others. It would be great if this does spark something off, though I'm sure others won't realise its guerrilla credentials ;)<br /><br />Petoskystone - those sound like great gifts :)<br /><br />Nutty Gnome & Colleen - thanks, but I wish we could do so much more<br /><br />MMD - I do hope so.<br /><br />Dee - I'm hoping it never gets to us having to live in a home, but yes, it would be good to know that nice things do happen at them sometimes.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-52764023872644899022010-01-10T02:18:39.228+00:002010-01-10T02:18:39.228+00:00I love it too.

It's going to look lovely, and it will give her something to look forward to, which is a rare commodity in such places. Maybe your guerilla gift will inspire the management or even just relatives of other residents to emulate your effort.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-78637990210008172692010-01-09T16:27:07.222+00:002010-01-09T16:27:07.222+00:00What a brilliant idea VP - and V isn't the onl...What a brilliant idea VP - and V isn't the only one who'll benefit from it either :)<br />Brownie points for that one!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-72507204016194158592010-01-09T14:49:28.804+00:002010-01-09T14:49:28.804+00:00what a great gift! my parents are retired & ac...what a great gift! my parents are retired & across the country, so they end up with books & (for my mom) puzzles. all of which they can take down to the second-hand book exchange when they're done to get 'new' books & puzzles out.petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-13161398076434022802010-01-09T14:32:48.875+00:002010-01-09T14:32:48.875+00:00This is a great idea, VP!

Can other residents see it to enjoy it, too?<br /><br />My mother's independent living facility has a lovely courtyard with some interesting plantings. I've only seen in in the off-season, though, so I'm curious to know what it will look like in summer. Hopefully, there will be lots of bulbs. If not, I'll have to stel your idea of a guerilla planter.Susan Tomlinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01532464326705599296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-44677945651087508032010-01-08T21:26:47.553+00:002010-01-08T21:26:47.553+00:00What a lovely daughter in law you are to think of ...What a lovely daughter in law you are to think of such a visual treat I am sure she will not only enjoy looking at it but take pride in knowing you did it especially for her.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905137222286141548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-49390353877263906272010-01-08T19:55:15.438+00:002010-01-08T19:55:15.438+00:00How perfect, VP!
