Two years ago, Floyd Polk Medical Center began working with PCCCA Agriculture instructor, Mr. Michael Ferguson, to develop a blueprint for the planning and implementation of the Floyd Polk Medical Center Therapeutic Garden and Walking Trail. You can now visit Floyd Polk Medical Center and experience how this project has come to fruition! Currently, PCCCA Construction, Engineering, and Welding instructors (Dylan Little, Greg Rainey, Corey Smith, Matt Hayden) are working to implement some additional components as well! Stay tuned! Please note, the Therapeutic Garden and Walking Trail is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC during daylight hours! This is an incredible addition to our community! We look forward to the continued work on this project and our strong partnership with Floyd Polk Medical Center. #PCCCAProud #PSDProud
