How green can heal….

Our principal in charge told us a great story about our future healing garden space.  Back in the late 90s, after the construction of the new portion of the building to the east, Brian was out on site assessing everything for the design of the children’s garden.  He remembers it being sometime in the summer and needless to say it was pretty hot.  He happened to notice a mother who had taken her child out to the barren courtyard under one of the two remaining trees on the site.  He marveled at that moment and how a tree and green grass and shade could coax those two of out the hospital.  I think that goes to show just how powerful green grass and green trees can be.  As luck would have it, I actually found a photo of the moment in our archived files of the old project.  That little child looks to be barefoot and tromping around in the grass.  I’m sure this was a relaxing moment for the two of them.  Imagine how a beautiful new garden in this space is going to be?
