Sticks and saplings create stunning outdoor art; the artist gains ankle and leg strength.

Sticks and Stones GARDENFIT

Premiered March 18, 2024
Sticks and Stones

Environmental artist Patrick Dougherty is known for his life-sized sculptures built using only sticks and saplings and exhibited around the world. We visit one of these, along with his home, surrounded by stick fences, stone archways, paths and walls--all of which he built himself. Patrick is given a series of movements to increase flexibility in the ankle and restore function to the lower legs.
