| I don't how this thread reappeared since there is no no 2023 posting. Something removed I guess. Following on from Bobbie's post it is true that there are convalescent homes or certainly hospices with verandahs or patio areas where beds can be rolled outside. These also have the most beautiful of gardens. In hotter climates residents would move up to the hills in the summer when the weather was hot. Several months ago I was visiting Hammersmith Hospital which has a garden (or remains of one) on one of the upper floors which desperately needs attention. Unfortunately the decking is rotting so it cannot be accessed. Certainly in spring when the remaining daffodils flowered it really lifted the spirits. It is well known that gardens and views out of hospital windows improve both mental wellbeing and any speed of recovery. No wonder people talk about hospitals all the time as if they are imprisoned - waiting to be let out - because they are so often trapped in buildings where you can't open the windows or feel a breeze get a breath of fresh air let alone see any greenery. |
