The staff, residents and volunteers of Powell Place had a special celebration for Earth Day.
They planted a cherry tree, which was the idea of Executive Director Jessica Plante. Besides planting the tree for Earth Day, the community kicked off its Great American Century series with Floppy Hat Garden Party.

This week Powell Place is kicking off its 1930s celebration and Nurses Week.
