THE DR. LISA VENTRELLA-LUCENTE MEMORIAL GARDEN – NOTE**This is the project’s full actual name but it’s too long for the main programs page but please use it on it’s individual program page.

The Dr. Lisa Ventrella-Lucente Healing Garden is a delightful addition to the existing Healing Garden at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare. The garden is a retreat for patients, families and staff to enjoy time outdoors and relax with the comforts of nature. They can take a break for lunch, take a walk or enjoy a conversation with friends and loved ones. The area consists of tables and benches located in an outdoor patio setting. The garden is partly shaded by existing trees and surrounded by new landscaping. The facility will also provide an opportunity for mental health and rehabilitation patients to explore the therapeutic value of gardening.
