SANDPOINT — Spring may just be underway, but the Healing Garden was blooming with activity Saturday as almost two dozen volunteers turned out to get the park ready for the season.
"It's such a lovely place," Bonner General Health volunteer coordinator Kate McAlister said as she watched the bustle of activity taking place from one end of the garden to the other. "It's all green right now, but in a month or so it's going to be filled with color and that's what I love about the garden. It just makes you feel good. You walk in and it's an instant calm as the garden kind of gives you a big hug."
