Rooftop garden "Healing the Heart"

[Sam] May 11, 2010 09:00

CIMG2218S.JPGA Tsurubara tunnel, a slide for children to play, and a "Mube shelf" that is not a shaded Fuji shelf.
There is a wooden garden chair on the front of it.
This is the rooftop garden on the 6th floor of St. Luke International Hospital in Akashicho. It also plays a role in promoting greening.
You can see inpatients of wheelchairs and visitors chatting around the garden path, which was skillfully built during planting.

I can hear the birds singing.
The lush rooftop garden is also used as a place to refresh inpatients and to meet and talk with their families. It is also a symbol of the hospital that aims to not only treat diseases but also to "heal the heart" of patients.
