Flower Workshop Fights Isolation in Tasmania
A flower arrangement workshop has become an unlikely solution to tackle isolation among seniors in regional Tasmania.
During Seniors Week, 20 seniors from West Tamar attended a free session in Launceston, where they created bouquets from their own garden flowers.
- The bouquets were later gifted to patients at the Beaconsfield District Health Service.
- The program highlights the importance of social connection in wellbeing, alongside medical treatment.
Nicole Grose, from St Lukes, noticed that social conversations have a significant impact on people's health and wellbeing.
