Caption:
Grown by a Carville, Louisiana Leprosarium patient, this quaint garden was constructed from used Coca-Cola bottles that had been discarded by the hospital's canteen. Other gardens on the premises were based on other types of creative designs. There were many wonderful flower gardens, hosting plants of all kinds. Some of the patients had magical green thumbs, represented by these creative garden configurations. Being that the patients were for the most part quarantined, and therefore, sequestered from the surrounding society, participation in outdoor activities like as gardening, were appreciated by many patients.
