WBHM's Tapestry Interveiw
Have you ever been walking down the street, noticed something in the trash, and thought - you know, in the right hands, that junk could "BE" something? That's the inspiration for the "found art" exhibits at the Southern Environmental Center on the campus of Birmingham Southern College. The center's director - Roald Hazelhoff - takes us on a tour.
Interview with Roald Hazelhoff or www.wbhm.org/Tapestry/
See the "found art" described and take a virtual tour of the making of the Environmental Center.
Healing Gardens
Many in the healthcare industry are touting the therapeutic value of healing gardens. The American Horticulture Therapy Association says that these specialized gardens are becoming increasingly common around the U.S. Among their benefits: stimulating memory and alleviating depression. Those pluses are especially helpful for a group of senior adults living at the Princeton Towers in Birmingham's Arlington-West End neighborhood. Gigi Douban has the story.
