From a 2009 World Interior Design Network
article:
"...the 4,786 square feet healing garden features shaded outdoor gathering spaces and paths interwoven with lush hummingbird and butterfly gardens coupled with water features. The multi-sensory garden is visible from many of the hospital’s patient rooms in the open air courtyard. A seamless entrance and open views to the healing garden have been made possible by remodeling the hospital lobby. The healing garden complements the original art displayed throughout the medical facility and the homely design of the private patient rooms. The garden is expected to act as a soothing, calming place both for patients and visitors, says Jean Knoedler, hospital vice president and administrator."

Two courtyard gardens: "One courtyard contains a grove of white birch trees set in a mass planting of blue agapanthus. The courtyard's contrast of forms and colors can be viewed from a glass corridor that connects the original hospital to the new addition. A second courtyard is used as a rest area and for family gathering. This courtyard has stepping stones set in moss and a dense perimeter planting which creates a serene, relaxing environment."

Recipient of the 2010 Design & Health International Academy Award for Sustainable Design. Judges’ remarks: “The design approach of this outstanding project focused on the interconnection between nature, health and wellbeing, reflecting and making use of the stunning local backdrop of wooded forests, panoramic landscapes and views of the water.”
“We tried to design the building so it’s transparent and connects back to the forest and the landscape,” he said. “The building breathes and infuses daylight, reflecting the changing light conditions… It also embodies the spirit of the Peninsula and the sense of community identity.”

Allyn Stellmacher, design partner at ZGF’s Seattle office
" The green features include the preservation of more than half of the site’s vegetation and replanting of the disturbed areas with indigenous plants, a “green buffer” that reduces visual and noise pollution, a stormwater-catchment system that filters the water back to the wetlands, a healing garden that uses recycled water, and nature trails. Inside, the extensive use of daylight creates a more energy-efficient space; other energy controls were also implemented. The project used many green materials, including low-VOC paints, sealants and adhesives."- Excerpt from article in the Kitsap Peninsula Business Journal

Note: This is one of the best examples of both a children's garden and a rooftop garden in the healthcare setting.
Here's a description from the website (link above):
Just outside St. Louis Children’s Hospital’s eighth floor, patients have a unique setting to enjoy time with nature, a private walk or quiet reflection. The 8,000-square-foot Olson Family Garden , an interactive rooftop oasis designed expressly for children and families who want a place for privacy, solace and healing. In addition to a variety of places to sit and rest, including a swing, benches and small coves, children enjoy crafts, puppet shows and performances by storytellers. Other features include waterfalls, winding paths and steppingstones that take garden visitors from fountains to flowerbeds to ponds filled with goldfish and views of nearby Forest Park. According to hospital chaplain Rev. Connie Madden, the garden represents a place for families and staff to “re-center.” “I’ve discovered that the garden works like a sanctuary,” she explains. “People go there to feel safe and less harried.” Children who can’t go outdoors enjoy the garden’s sculptures, fountains and plants from windows in the newly renovated Child Life Services Center, an educational facility that offers a child-friendly playroom, a teen lounge and school room. The garden is also lit at night, and has featured special decorations during the holidays.
