I spent a lot of time at Brack when my girlfriend was in a serious motorcycle accident. This garden was a nice respite in those long months. I remember the first time we were allowed to take her outside, this was one of our first stops. I pushed her around in her wheelchair around the garden, and it was a genuinely great thing to have such pretty scenery for someone who had been cooped up for weeks. Thanks for covering this story, and thanks to the great folks at Brackenridge!

Message to all. I see lots of people talking about community gardens for general hospitals to help with mental health. But what about having some community gardens for mental health hospitals. Mental health facilities patients could greatly benefit from having a garden at their facilities as well. And it would give them more fun and healthy extracurricular activities instead of just blank colorless walls, tv, music and books. If we are talking about creating community gardens to benefit mental health, then Mental health institutes should definitely be included in the quest for health and healing. They should not be abandoned. Plants for everyone, everywhere!! Anyone out there ready for this challenge?
