The fiberglass planter boxes helped control the growth of these small flowering plants which can be a handful to maintain if left by themselves to grow directly into the soil. Without the planters, the planting space could easily become overwhelmed with vigorous plant growth.

Founded in 1958, the hospital with 95 beds has been providing mental health care services to residents of Sydney and the rest of NSW. The hospital caters to cases of anxiety and depression and other mental health disorders. St. John of God Burwood Hospital is also the only hospital in NSW that provides specialized inpatient care for mothers that go through perinatal depression.

Plants, especially those with flowers bring benefits to mental health and general well-being. As such, a hospital with plants becomes a better environment for healing.
