"A garden is more than just a pretty space; what you plant and how you plant it can affect the mind, body, and spirit," says Jenny Rose Carey, director of Temple's Ambler Arboretum, who led a public lecture on the topic. In fact, many medicinal plants are native to our area, and grow in the Ambler Arboretum's own Ernesta Ballard Healing Garden where color, texture and aromas combine to appeal to all of the senses in soothing ways.
