Medical Expertise: Talks by Western and Chinese medicine specialists

====================================

【Maggie's Centre Botanical Illustrated Guide: Where Nature Meets Healing】

When cancer patients step into Maggie's Centre with anxiety, the plants at its entrance offer the first gentle embrace— the serene little garden, tranquil pond, and unique "Mindfulness Path" do more than purify the air; they cleanse the spirit, quietly accompanying patients through their treatment journey and helping them restore inner peace.

This guidebook is a collaborative effort by:

• Dedicated Centre users' who contributed ecological notes
• In-depth interviews, writing, photography, and design by HKBU School of Communication PR students
• Centre users sharing heartfelt stories of how Maggie’s Centre supported them through illness

Visitors can follow the guide to explore the garden, discover nature's healing power with every step, and learn to embrace the present moment.
