Miki Aso, Molly Oberholtzer, Athina Santaguida Inspired by the outdoor community gardens and flower shops near the new MSK facility, this team chose to develop an herb garden system that would create a nourishing and supportive community. The community garden includes selecting and growing herbs, drying herbs, and making herbal sachets and teas while the support network of the service includes partners, volunteers and how to disseminate appropriate information about herbs to patients.
