Cathy, The Medical Center of Plano is initiating an on-site community garden this month. There will be opportunities for everyone to participate. There will be a butterfly plant area, an herb area, a universal access area for vision and physically challenged persons,a meditation garden, antique rose garden, and a "Path of Life" in memory or honor of a loved one. I hope you will consider participating in this inspirational community project! I will be happy to e-mail you information about our ground-breaking plans for "Volunteer Day", the day we hope to get started with our first theme area of the garden.
