Benefits of Children’s Healing Garden
Memory Garden Activities:
Children may plant and nurture
flowers in memory of their loved
ones.
Opportunities for Multiple
Therapies: Interactive art and play
therapies will create self-symbols of
children’s grief or illness and teach
of the impermanent nature of life.
Positive Setting for Children with
Life-Limiting Illnesses: Children
with life-limiting illnesses will
have opportunities to participate
in activities in a therapeutic, fully
accessible outdoor environment.
Area for Gatherings:
The garden will provide a venue for
children’s individual sessions, support
groups, and specific events, such as
memorial services that children plan
and implement.
