Volunteer Opportunity Details:

Join a very special group of gardening enthusiasts that have for over 30 years been making stunning floral arrangements for Silver Hill Hospital's patient units, common areas and dining room. This group meets every Thursday morning from 9:30 am to noon to arrange nature's floral bounty in vases and whimsical planters that delight patients and bring even more vibrancy to Silver Hill's indoor spaces.

You already know who you are! You love gardening and bringing the beauty of the garden's palette indoors for all to enjoy. Invite a friend to join you to make this a fun get-together with the Silver Hill "Flower Team." Your handiwork will spread joy and offer "horticultural therapy" to our patients.
