Many hospital units use the garden, which has also become a major part a community wellness initiative sponsored by the hospital. Kids Care, Hillside Manor, Eagles Wings and Remembrance Home, all hospital facilities, help tend to the garden. 

“In the Remembrance Home, you can really tell when they are working in the garden that it triggers something from their life,” Linda Klinger, director of rehabilitation services and wellness at the hospital, told the Daily Citizen. “Those skills never go away.”
