"Cares melt when you kneel in your garden."  - Anonymous

Perhaps it owes to the gardening culture in the Pacific Northwest.  And it certainly has something to do with being located in a parking lot.  But between a mix of inspiration and necessity, the VA Puget Sound Fisher House has bloomed since 2008.  Our unique gardens variously provide privacy, delight, occupation and play for guests and their patients.   Whether seeking quiet and solace in the spaces of the Healing Garden or tending and harvesting the herbs and vegetables in Marianne's Garden, guests can leave behind their cares in the comforting embrace of nature.
