Welcome to your new Serenity Garden
A Garden Devoted to Behavioral Health
“The history of hospitals and healing places goes back many centuries. At one time, nature was seen as intrinsic to healing, but this important connection was lost by the twentieth century. Now, however, it is being rediscovered, in the form of healing gardens and therapeutic landscapes in healthcare settings.”
— Claire Cooper Marcus and Naomi Sachs
Gardens allow us to expand healing outside of the walls of our hospital.
Our therapeutic garden series is called our FARMacy program, which refers to healing through plants and nature. Our FARMacy garden series is supported in its entirety by generous friends, like you, whose support allows us to build spaces that offer our community the restorative and healing benefits of nature. Thank you.
Healing Spaces Make a Difference. Generosity Makes this Possible.
