Earth Day: A Tale As Old As Thyme At The Retreat at Tampa

Here at The Retreat at Tampa, we want you to take a little bit of Earth home with you to celebrate Earth Day!

This past month, residents joined us in beautiful weather on our pool deck to choose their own variety of plant and learn how to re-pot it and care for it at home. We provided multiple types of Florida-native, low maintenance plants such as succulents, butterfly plants and marigolds and plenty of terracotta pots to plant them in. Our manager, Megan, has quite the green thumb and taught about 45 of our residents how to fill their pots with the proper soil level, how much water each plant requires and how to monitor them for pests. Our residents were so excited to spend their Earth Day with us and were even more excited to take their new plants home with them!
