CLINTON, Kentucky (WPSD) — A Clinton, Kentucky farmer delivered houseplants to over 30 residents at two long-term care facilities on Monday, thanks to donations from the community.
Heirloom Acres owner Caroline Webb said the idea for the Houseplants for Seniors program was born from a New Years resolution to give back.
Through the month of January, shoppers were able to donate money and pick out easy-to-care for houseplants and succulents to send to residents at long-term care facilities.
On Monday, Webb brought those plants to residents at Clinton-Hickman County ICF Nursing Facility and Clinton Place.
“You guys that supported this project, I just want you to know that over 30 residents were so excited to receive their special gift from you guys, and so happy to have people thinking about them, whether they knew who you were or not. It really made their day,” Webb said.
