Alberta Children's Hospital - Healing Gardens
Dear Members,
As a representative of the Calgary Horticultural Society on the Alberta Children’s Hospital Healing Gardens Advisory Committee I would like to bring to your attention their ‘On-Line’ Spring Plant Sale.
This is a way for you to purchase your annuals and herbs whilst at the same time contribute to their fund raising program which goes towards the required plants, shrubs and trees to enhance the Healing Gardens which surround the Hospital.
If you are ever at the Children’s Hospital take a wander around the Healing Gardens: they are a delight to behold and are ever growing. Indeed they are part of our Calgary Gardening Community!
With thanks,
Judy Rose
Society Volunteer
The Healing Gardens is an outdoor space where children and their families, staff, and visitors can wander, explore and experience the therapeutic benefits of a healing, horticultural environment. The gardens provide a private area for reflection and discovery away from the hospital setting to regain a connection with nature.
Each garden has a unique design that allows children and families to explore nature in its various forms using interconnecting pathways.

You must be imaginative, strong hearted. You must try things that may not work. And you must not let anyone define your limits because of where you come from.
