Boston Children’s Hospital has begun removing trees and plants from the memorial Prouty Garden to prepare for the construction of new clinical building, according to an article on The Boston Globe website.
Rob Graham, a hospital spokesman, said in a statement that the hospital’s planned expansion will improve care and the patient experience while honoring the garden.
“We have preserved statues, plants and other materials from Prouty Garden to use in the new gardens created as part of new clinical building and the renovated Longwood campus,” Graham said in the article.
The garden is being demolished to create space for the 11-story clinical building, part of a planned $1 billion expansion of Children’s.
