Artist, Benji Carr, Visits Clark Meadows Artist, Benji Carr, Visits Clark Meadows "The Ghost of Roseland" is coming to Canandaigua Lake! KristenMeyer / Tuesday, May 21, 2024 0 9756 Local artist, Benji Carr, was on site to show his latest project to our residents. The Ghost of Roseland sculpture is his latest commissioned piece. He brought the model to show us how it will look and explained that there will be moving parts. What a thrill for our staff and residents to get this up close and personal presentation of such an exciting project. The discussion brought out a lot of reminiscing about Roseland Park. So many of our residents grew up in Canandaigua and Rosleand Park was a big part of their youth. The art reflects the history of our town and the importance that the park played. Pat Rini Rohrer, gallery owner and Art Tuppen, Canandaigua local, were two of our enthusiastic audience participants. They are photographed here with the artist. Read more

SuperUser Account / Wednesday, February 1, 2017 / Categories: Ferris Hills Blog Green Thumbs In Their Glory at Ferris Hills When considering a move to an independent living apartment, some green thumbs wonder if they will have to give up gardening. At Ferris Hills at West Lake, that couldn’t be further from the truth, and they couldn’t be happier.In addition using to the senior community’s raised flower and herb beds, many residents fill their patios and balconies with an array of verdant plans, moving them in the winter to an on-site greenhouse.Mary Bausch is among Ferris Hills’ green thumbs. While her husband Bob maintains a vegetable garden and a strawberry patch, Mary winters geraniums in the greenhouse and in the past has used the raised beds that Bob and another resident built in Ferris Hills’ woodworking shop. She has also tried growing dahlias, with a little help from a fellow resident.“I’ve never grown them before, but they’re beautiful, and they’re so abundant,” she says.Sharing the bounty from his gardens is something Bill McGeary enjoys doing, too. McGeary, a retired Rochester Telephone accountant, moved to Ferris Hills from Honeoye. A longtime gardener, he decided to try something a little different and planted Yukon Gold potatoes, along with tomatoes and gladiolus.Sharing his fondness for gardening with other green thumbs is just one reason McGeary is enjoying living at Ferris Hills, where he has found new friends to play golf, poker and euchre with, not to mention the freedom to live life on his terms. “I love it,” he says.
