What began as a simple idea — “What if our clients could grow their own food?” — blossomed into a thriving garden and a powerful story of growth at Las Cumbres Adult Services. Through a partnership with local expert Ken Kuhne of Grow Y’Own, clients planted seeds that became much more than vegetables — they became symbols of empowerment, healing, and community.

From lettuce to laughter, from basil to belonging, this project proves that when hands meet soil, something beautiful grows — both in the garden and within ourselves.

Las Cumbres’ Adult Day Service members experience the wonder of illusion led by award-winning magician and academic, Dr. Kevin Spencer. With tricks like knot-tying without hands and magical transformations, participants didn’t just learn magic—they built skills in focus, teamwork, and creativity.

“This was incredibly rewarding,” shared Program Director Nanette Martinez, while member Richard summed it up perfectly: “Yeah, magic!” Stay tuned for more magical moments when Kevin returns in the spring! 🌟
