A healing garden has opened on the campus of Northwell Health’s Phelps Hospital, located in Sleepy Hollow, New York. The hospital’s new Serenity Garden is designed to support mental health, wellness and rejuvenation for patients, visitors and staff.
The $360,000 donor-funded project is the third installment in Phelps’ innovative FARMacy program, a series of green spaces promoting healing through nature. Situated next to the hospital’s main entrance, the garden features a pavilion with a slatted roof that adjusts to sunlight and airflow, alongside a calming water feature, comfortable benches and ambient lighting.
Designed by specialists in therapeutic gardens, it thoughtfully incorporates plants native to the area and uses environmentally conscious porous paving, creating an immersive and peaceful retreat. Read the full story here.
