Future phases will include maintaining a cut flower garden with annuals that can be brought indoors to brighten patients\u2019 rooms, establishing a medicine garden, and installing a water feature for quiet reflection. St. Paul\u2019s Hospital Foundation and the Hospice at Glengarda want to especially thank Dutch Growers for their donation of plants towards this summer\u2019s garden.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flowers and plants do more than enhance a space. They boost mood, increase creativity, reduce stress and improve air quality. The garden adds a peaceful outdoor area to the Hospice grounds, offering a space for reflection and calm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Memorial Garden at our Hospice provides a meaningful way for patients to leave a living legacy through flowers.
