unveiled The Garden in October 2006.

sculpture and the natural topography of the earth into a
therapeutic retreat and offers patients a chance to reduce their
negative emotions and stress. It is meant to inspire hope and
courage: two necessary ingredients in the fight against cancer
and all illnesses. Tickets for the 2016 Naples Music Festival
