E-Landscape Installs “Healing Garden” at the National Naval Medical Center
Davidsonville, MD September 9, 2011 – Davidsonville, Maryland‐based commercial landscaping company E‐Landscape Specialty Solutions announced today that it has been awarded the contract to install a healing garden on the rooftop of the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Working with Prospect Waterproofing, E‐Landscape completed the plant installation for the new Healing Garden, which is designed to give patients at the National Naval Medical Center a serene space to relax during their rehabilitation. This project was part of an upgrade to an existing terrace space at the Center. Due to the height of the rooftop, plant materials and equipment had to be lifted by a crane and put into place. In addition, specimin trees such as Harry Lauder’s Walking, Weeping White Pine, and Weeping Norway Spruce were sourced to replace sentimental plantings in place in the prior garden. “We at E‐Landscape are very proud to have played a part in this project at the National Naval Medical Center,” explained E‐Landscape President Eric Drenner. “It is a privilege to create a space in which the people who have served our country can heal in peace.”
