    Saint Luke's Rehabilitation Institute's annual garden party offers a refreshing form of outdoor therapy where patients can practice everyday skills they love.

    This year, KMBC joined as therapists worked with patients to plant, water, and tend to their favorite plants in the Rehabilitation Institute's outdoor garden space.

    KMBC talked with Laura Montgomery, an occupational therapist at Saint Luke's, about how the annual event help patients build confidence in daily tasks and tune fine motor skills as a part of therapy.
