A Classic Christmas: Festival of Trees<\/strong>
PARKLAND AT THE GARDENS<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November, Parkland at the Gardens residents and in-house designer Karen Dixon came together to create a tree for the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia\u2019s event, the Forest of Trees. Inspired by the song \u201cRockin\u2019 Around the Christmas Tree\u201d, Karen wanted to create a design with the residents that stirred a sentimental feeling in a new, old-fashioned way. \u201cWhen I met with the residents, we looked at what Christmas trees looked like in the 1960s when the song came out,\u201d said Karen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Susan is one of the residents who helped decorate the tree. \u201cIt\u2019s always fun with all the ladies,\u201d she said with a smile. \u201cMore hands make it easier \u2013 I love doing stuff like this!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Parkland resident Joan, the Mental Health Foundation of Nova Scotia is a cause she holds close to her heart. \u201cI\u2019m very happy to participate in this fundraiser. I think it\u2019s an absolutely wonderful idea,\u201d said Joan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On November 27, the tree named \u201cA Classic Christmas\u201d was auctioned off and purchased for $1,600 with all proceeds going towards mental health services and supports in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
