The Standard Process Healing Garden Will Leave a Mark in History at Northwestern Health Sciences University

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Construction for the new Standard Process Healing Garden at Northwestern Health Sciences University began at the beginning of July, 2008. Standard Process made a generous donation of $250,000 to underwrite this creation, which will be approximately 11,000 square feet. The garden is scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2008. The Healing Garden, planned by MOM’s Landscaping and Design of Shakopee, Minn., will be a central place for students, staff, faculty and alumni to enjoy. The garden will feature a variety of unique design elements including: “rooms” intended as gathering places; themed sensory gardens planted with perennials; and four basalt columns representing the four foundational elements of the University mission and the four academic programs. Naming opportunities in the garden, as memorials or in recognition of donors, will be available as well. Northwestern Health Sciences University offers a wide array of choices in natural health care education including chiropractic, Oriental medicine, acupuncture, therapeutic massage and human biology. The University has nearly 1,000 students on a 25-acre campus in Bloomington, Minnesota.
