LARNED — Each spring, on select days in April and May, the Larned State Hospital offers the surrounding community the chance to fill their planter boxes and gardens with locally grown, healthy bedding, vegetable and herb plants. The plants are the end result of a year-long vocational program offered at hospital. The program is overseen by Chris Perez, the activity therapy director, and activity therapist Denise Sellers.
