Whether your spring activities include spending time outdoors or joining a lifelong learning program, every day invites you to stay active, social, and engaged.
Here are a few fun spring activities that reflect our vibrant lifestyle—and how they benefit overall well-being.
1. Gardening for Wellness and Connection
There’s something deeply satisfying about tending to a garden. At Meadow Lakes, residents enjoy opportunities to get outside, dig into the soil, and connect with nature—and each other. Gardening is a social activity for seniors that also supports physical health by encouraging light activity and improved flexibility, while also promoting emotional wellness through calming, purposeful work.
Plus, our lush campus grounds provide the perfect setting for showcasing your springtime favorite blooms or simply appreciating the changing season.
