Senior Movie Morning - "Greenfingers" Wednesday, June 10 11:30 AM—1:30 PM Seniors (ages 50+) are invited to attend this special seniors-only movie matinee. Light refreshments will be provided, but feel free to bring your own snack or lunch to enjoy! Our movie for June is the 2000 British comedy/drama "Greenfingers," (rated R) starring Clive Owen and Helen Mirren. The beauty and delicacy of a flower seem a sharp contrast to the rough exterior of a prison inmate. Yet these two images are exactly what writer/director Joel Hershman brings together in Greenfingers, a story of redemption that not only tickles the funny bone, but touches the soul. The movie is loosely based on the true story of inmates at Her Majesty's Prison Leyhills in the Cotswolds, who found rehabilitation through gardening and went on to design award-winning gardens at the prestigious Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. Registration is required.
