A garden for the Hospital in Vesinet
The show garden created for the festival will be moved to the Paris suburb of Le Vesinet to the palliatic service of the local hospital where it will provide a safe, agreeable, easily accessible outdoor space for the patients. A succession of clearly signposted, enclosed, landscaped areas, with the planting in raised beds for easier accessibility, will allow patients to be in contact with nature on a regular basis in a protected environment. It is intended that these gardens for the hospitals’ elderly, frail residents as well their visitors will contribute to the patients’ well-being and to maintain that vital contact with their environment.
