GARDEN OF HOPE AND COURAGE
A Sanctuary of Support and Comfort
For all who seek a place of sanctuary, a place of quiet, a place of beauty and life, there is a Garden of Hope and Courage.
Inspired by women faced with breast cancer, as well as all who have been touched by cancer; in memory of sons, daughters, husbands, wives, and dear friends, this garden serves as a living testimony to courage, compassion, hope, and love.
History
Janet Emfield (wife of Bob, one of Tommy Bahama’s co-founders), was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1990. During her struggle, she envisioned a peaceful garden in the midst of a sterile hospital setting—a place of tranquility and solace for cancer patients, their families, and healthcare providers. As an avid gardener, Janet recognized the physical and psychological healing benefits that a natural garden setting could provide.
Today
In 2004, Janet’s vision became a reality. The Garden of Hope and Courage now occupies approximately two acres next to the Downtown Naples Hospital Campus. The garden includes a reflection pond, several sculptures, multitudes of flowers, plants and trees, and a special play area for children.
