Two of our residents, Melvin and Jean, enjoyed a tour through the University of Northern Iowa's Botanical Center. Melvin and Jean have always had a garden, but nothing compared to this! They were able to see diverse species from all around the world. Melvin enjoyed smelling all the plants and Jean talked to the birds!
Melvin and Jean’s son was also able to join! This truly was a special day for the couple. As we were getting on the bus Melvin said, "That was the joy of my life!"
