Help Our Garden Grow
Imagine... A place where you can come and sit amongst the trees, plants and water to gather your thoughts, or just wander around the area and clear your mind. A place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy
peace and tranquility. A place that will delight the senses, relax the mind and enhance the spirit.
Shady Grove Adventist Hospital plans to construct just such a place — a "Healing Garden." A healing garden offers many therapeutic benefits, and aids in the healing process, whether you’re in the garden itself, or enjoying the beautiful view. And it’s of benefit to all of us — patients, families, employees, physicians and visitors.
Located on top of the first floor roof, the Healing Garden will also be viewed by patients and visitors on Floors Two, Three and Four of the new Tower. It will be large, more than 33,000 sq. ft., and will have qualities and characteristics that help strengthen the body, mind and spirit. The Healing Garden will include:
-
Plants with aromatherapy properties.
-
Color schemes to delight the senses and relax the mind.
-
A water feature to aid in the relaxation process.
-
Benches and seating areas for quiet contemplation or visiting.
-
A covered trellis for protection from the elements and holding private conversations.
How does our garden grow? With your help.
