Local 4-H Group Volunteers To Make Hospital Patio Bloom

Recently, members of Linden’s Kountry Kousins 4-H group volunteered their time and talents to create a more welcoming outdoor patio area at Upland Hills Health. Armed with gardening tools and flats of flowers, the members of the group turned the patio area into a magnificent display for patients, visitors and employees to enjoy.

Their generosity did not stop there. Following planting, the members also assembled care packages for children who are patients at the hospital to help pass the time away. They gave out items that such as coloring books, silly putty, pencils and other things that are sure to bring a smile to a face in need.

“The number one reason the group wanted to volunteer at Upland Hills Health was to do something that gave back to the community that would also be a lot of fun,” stated Tammy Rule, Co-leader of Kountry Kousins and Director of Inpatient Services at Upland Hills Health. In order to ensure that their project is well maintained, group members will be returning to care for the flowers.

Kountry Kousins is led by Tammy Rule and Karen Parish. Ten members of the group donated their time and talents.
