May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Perry Wellness Center  joins other organizations in our community and around the country in encouraging people to support each other in difficult times. Anxiety, depression, and other mental   health problems can often make it hard for people to reach out for the support and assistance they need. Be the light to others. Ask for support when you need it for yourself.

Recently we shared our attendance at the Ellaville Spring Festival last weekend. Upon arrival back in Americus, the remaining plants in the Mobile Market were returned to Rudy’s Happy Patch Market. There, each plant was returned to the market inventory. There is a definite method to this process.

Stuart Perry explained, “After years of learning, we have discovered that it is better to offload any sold plants back with the same variety of plants. Customers like to compare prices and sizes of the plants they purchase. We once adopted the practice of having plants in different places. We have now found that customers like to see them all together.”

“Rain or shine, the 2025 Ellaville Springtime Festival is happening this Saturday, May 10^th! Don’t let a few raindrops keep you away – come join us for a day full of fun, food, and festivities. Just be sure to bring your rain boots and your festival spirit! See you there!”

This email brightened the hope of vendors and planned visitors at the annual spring festival in downtown Ellaville, Georgia – including a team from Rudy’s Happy Patch’s Mobile Market. The event, sponsored by the Ellaville/Schley County Chamber of Commerce, turned out to be a successful event, regardless of weather forecasts, and Perry Wellness Center and its market were proud to be a part of it once again.

The Mobile Market team, under the supervision of manager Susan Childs, set up on the GasNGo lot. Its large ton-and-a-half truck pulled into place and was quickly unloaded. Items for sale included a large variety of hanging baskets.”

Perry Wellness Center founder and CEO Stuart Perry offered this report: “We carried some 15 different colors and varieties of plants for supporters in Ellaville and Schley County. Supporters seemed ready and hungry for our visit. It was a good day for us.”

In mid-spring, plants in many colors and varieties fill the many display tables at Rudy’s Happy Patch Market, on the campus of Perry Wellness Center. PWC founder and director Stuart Perry encourages visitors to check out all the greenhouses to discover their perfect plant.

“It seems that there is always one greenhouse that collects plants from last season and some pots with no display area in fresh markets. Customers have learned to search all the greenhouses and find both new and past plant varieties.”

A greenhouse on the northern edge of the campus displays many green and colorful plant varieties waiting for their new homes.

Friendship and peer support include actions large and small. At Perry Wellness Center, we recently caught peers Jamica and Tameika sharing a simple moment of support.

Self-care for individuals with mental health or substance abuse problems includes putting one’s best appearance forward. Sometimes, time must be grabbed when and where it can be found.
