ALLEGRA BOVERMAN/Gloucester Daily Times ALLEGRA BOVERMAN/Gloucester Daily Times George Cohen, a resident at Golden Living Center in Gloucester, tends the sunflowers in the new garden there. He waters them once a day. He and nurse Rita C. Murray Riley have been working on the new walled garden since the spring, she has long been beautifying the grounds around the center, too. Many of the sunflowers have grown tall enough to reach the second floor of the building. Cohen likes gardening and had planted a mix of dwarf and mammoth sunflowers, and all of them are his favorites, he said. They are against the side of the center's wall and also some are along the back of the building. "They're happy with just enough sun, and they bloom at night," he said. The sunflowers in this garden are visible from Washington Street towering above the fence, and get sun on that side from sunrise to noon.
