Landscaped outdoor garden space features indigenous plants, a manmade stream and winding paths
The Sharon Morse II–Moffitt Cancer Center, The Villages, Fla., includes a healing garden with indigenous plants, a man-made stream and winding paths, according to the "Last Detail" feature on the Health Facilities Management website.
The garden — designed to be a calming presence — has a covered, tile-roofed walkway that connects the cancer center to an adjacent hospital and echoes Spanish-influenced architecture of the campus.
