Medford Leas

Last week several Foulkeways residents went over to New Jersey to visit Medford Leas CCRC to have a look at their enclosed courtyards.
It was a rainy day, but these courtyards were impressive even in November.
Each one is different, with an interesting mix of trees, shrubs, and flowers.

None have grass, but may have grass substitutes that do not need mowing.
Most of the courtyards had pathways, and sometimes benches, which were pleasant to look at, even if you never ventured into the gardens.
There was often paving stones used, and drains in each as they experienced a need for draining the water away from the apartments.
