With a bright spring sun streaming through their windows and dozens of lavender-pink roses everywhere, residents of Genesis HealthCare Center in Manahawkin recently created beautiful arrangements to decorate their rooms and the hallways.

Gillian Rozicer, club publicity director, said 10 members of the group arrived at the Route 72 facility with bouquets of roses, peach pink Peruvian lilies, and snow white baby’s breath. They brought garden clippers and greens from their own gardens.
