I am a counselor at McLean Hospital and have begun a Gardening Group for my clients. As I trust you will understand, getting your hands in the soil is a very grounding experience. Being surrounded by beauty inspires healing. This will be our second season here in the Hope Cottage garden and the enthusiasm for the project is considerable. Unfortunately, we have no budget and everything we collect comes through donations...a clipping here,a flat there. This is good and bad...the patchwork nature of the project leaves us somewhat vulnerable but also provides ample opportunity for teamwork and creativity. If you are interested in learning more about the garden and/or are willing to help by donating a plant or two, please contact me. I can be reached at the above email address or directly by phone here at McLean: Meg Finn Community Residence Counselor The Women's Treatment Program 617 855 2535 If you are not in a position to help with supplies, please consider donating your ideas. Everything helps. It is a real gift for these women to experience the kindness of others...to see there are people out there who help simply because it is the right thing to do. I hope to hear from some of you soon. *Please let me know if you have any ideas about where else I might go for help! Feel free to drop by and see what we're up to!
