How to heal with plants
A fellow Master Gardener
shared an article in a maga-
zine with me over the week-
end and it inspired me to do
more research about healing
gardens.
Located at our own Mason
General Hospital is a "well-
ness garden," which isn't ex-
actly the same as a healing
garden,
but serves
a specific
purpose.
Step
out the
main door
at Mason
General
Hospital
By JEANNE & Family
REHWALDT of Clinics
and you
will visit the wellness gar-
den, donated in 2004 by the
Centennial Hospital Guild
to give family and friends a
private place to sit and relax
while at MGH.
The wellness garden con-
rains seating and paths de-
signed for all types of visitors
to use, regardless of their
physical limitations.
In my research I found
the following description for
use of gardens for healing
from the University of Min-
nesota's Sustainable Urban
Landscape Series:
Throughout history gardens
have been used to aid in the
healing process from the
Japanese Zen garden to the
monastic cloister garden.
However, with the advances
in medical technology in the
20th century, the use of gar-
dens as healing elements be-
gan to diminish. Fortunately
with the recent interest in
complementary and alterna-
tive therapies, which em-
phasizes healing the whole
person -- mind, body and
spirit rather than simply
alleviating symptoms, the
interest in gardens as heal-
ers has been revived.
Research has been done
showing the therapeutic
benefits of gardens. Roger
Ulrich, a professor and direc-
tor of the Center for Health
Systems and Design at Tex-
as A&M University, found
that viewing natural scenes
or elements fosters stress
recovery by evoking positive
feelings, reducing negative
emotions, effectively holding
attention/interest and block-
ing or reducing stressful
thoughts.
Further research by Ul-
rich showed surgical patients
with views of nature had
shorter post-operative stays,
fewer negative comments
from nurses, took less pain
medication and experienced
fewer minor post-operative
complications than those
with a view of a brick wall.
Although more research is
necessary, results based on
research thus far indicate
the healing effects of natural
elements such as gardens.
Based on research by Ul-
rich and others, it could be
argued that any garden is a
healing garden. However, for
the purposes of this article,
we refer to Eckerling's deft-
nition of a healing garden: "a
garden in a healing setting
designed to make people feel
better" (Eckerling, 1996).
The goal of a healing garden
is to make people feel safe,
less stressed, more comfort-
able and even invigorated.
Gardens can be designed
for a variety of different pur-
poses. For example, here is a
list of some different types of
healing gardens:
• Children's gardens:
the Mason County WSU
Master Gardeners are in
the process of planning a
Children's Garden to be lo-
cated next to the Food Bank
Garden at Catalyst Park at
8th and Harvard Streets in
the Angleside neighborhood
in Shelton. Please contact
the Master Gardeners if you
or your children would like
to participate in this new
project.
• Nursing-home gardens:
with the population aging,
Mason County has numer-
ous assisted living and nurs-
ing homes. The staff at some
of these facilities has already
begun to use gardening as
therapy for their residents.
What a great way to help our
senior citizens. Why not con-
tact a nursing home or as-
sisted living facility and offer
to help with their garden?
• Other types of healing
gardens could include the
following: hospice gardens,
Alzheimer-treatment gar-
dens, gardens for the visu-
ally impaired, meditation
gardens, enabling gardens,
sensory gardens and more.
To learn more about how
to plan and develop any of
the gardens listed above,

gardens.html.

of the Children's Garden at
Catalyst Park please contact

Harstine
Continued from page B-1
Last week I mentioned
that on Feb. 14 the Us
TOO group would meet at
the Bakery and celebrate
Valentine's Day with their
sweethearts. This will be a
special meeting because they
are going to have a guest
speaker. She will speak
about diet and colon cancer.
If you are concerned about
those issues, mark this date
on your calendar. Everyone
is invited.
Judy and I didn't make it
to the Inquiring Minds, but
Arlen Morris was there and
gave us this report:
The first program of the
Harstine Island Community
Club's annual Inquiring
Minds series took place on
Sunday to a full house of
island and off island par-
ticipants. Seattle Pacific
University history profes-
sor William Woodward took
the group on a tour of the
development United States
Homeland Security Systems
and tenets, a number of
these originated before the
Civil War. With that set-
ting in mind, he explained
our current post Sept. 11
plans to create a defense sys-
tem for the West Coast al-
ready in the works. He took
us through several gen-
erations up to our current
times explaining the de-
fenses that have been put
in place. These defenses
will hopefully continue to
be deterrents to aggression,
including such as airport
security measures. The
three forts he often re-
ferred to were only three of
many seacoast forts put in
place in those early years,
which have become the lega-
cy of our great state parks.
It seems that it always
takes extreme measures to
make us do the things we
need to do in order to be
ready for an emergence. A
word from our CERT lead-
ers, Diane Edgin and Diane
Myers, now when we still
have power, locate flash-
lights, batteries and battery
operated or hand cranked
radios. Charge your cell
phones. I think something
a lot of people don't know,
those cordless phones most
of us now use, don't work
with a power outage but
- those old phones with a
cord attached to a land line
do work.
Make sure you have suffi-
cient drinking water and wa-
ter in general. When we see
a storm coming like this past
one, we fill the bathtub.
Also check your genera-
tors and make sure you have
them in a properly venti-
lated area. Carbon monoxide
(CO2) sinks and is odorless
and it can kill. Also, it is rec-
ommended that if you have
a generator that you run it
once a month throughout
the year. If you haven't fol-
lowed that rule, you will find
it hard to start when you
most need it. Keep the wood
box full. Having shoe chains
for traction is great, but if
you don't have them and
you're a golfer, golf shoes
work great.
