Scouts placed 676 brightly painted healing stones in Children’s Garden

The 676 brightly painted healing stones, which are the focus of Olivia Foli’s eagle scout project, were gathered from the Gainesville area as well as from California, Texas, Pennsylvania and Virginia. These stones are for patients to take and the rock scavenger hunt in the Children’s Garden served as an activity for patients to improve their physical and mental well-being.
