Adding landscaping in the south courtyard area is a goal of the FVH Foundation. This will not only enhance the courtyard featuring 'Activities,' the mural painted last year by local artist Harry Gray, but create a "healing" environment for patients, visitors and staff to enjoy.
For those that need to seek a retreat or to find comfort, the courtyard will provide natural beauty in their time of need. The tentative plans include many beautiful flowering plants, bushes, ornamental grasses, shade trees, benches for sitting, a water feature and hard surface walkway to stroll along.
In addition to accepting private donations, The Foundation is hosting "An Evening in the Garden Party!" with proceeds being used for the project. The evening of "friendraising" will be held on Saturday, November 11 beginning at 6 p.m. in the upper level of the Le Mars Convention Center.
The evening will include wine and craft beer tasting, heavy gourmet appetizers and dessert bar and entertainment by the "River Rats Dueling Pianos." Tables for eight will be available first and can be reserved for $400. Closer to event, individual tickets may be purchased for standing room only for $45. For more information about the project or to reserve your table for the event, please email Amy Harnack or call her at (712) 546-3348 or purchasing online at floydvalley.org.
