Gardening and spending time outdoors enhances vitamin D absorption and improves bone strength over time. When folks see their plants grow and eventually produce fruits and flowers, it can improve self-confidence and elevate mood. Community gardening at Encompass Health Fredericksburg helps our patients socialize, bond and relax. Arjun Hariharan, senior physical therapist, helps to lead our gardening program so that patients have a healthy hobby to continue at home upon discharge.
