"I think the most noticeable improvement I initiated was with a client who was depressed and never wanted to leave her room. I found out from a family member that my client loved gardening and prided herself on her rose garden. After her husband passed away, she became depressed and gave up everything she loved. I decided one day to buy her five rose bushes. I brought them into her room and asked if she would help me plant them in the garden since I had never gardened before. Her eyes lit up when she saw the roses. She got out of bed, put on some clothes, and instructed me on what to do. Every day after that, she was in the garden when I arrived at her house, and she asked me to bring more flowers. I think that was the initiative she needed to get out of her funk."
