St. Charles
Healing Gardens
at Stone Hill Farm
Deb Marqui, LCSW, is a survivor of lymphoma and
breast cancer. Through her cancer journey, she was
inspired to create a healing sanctuary on her two
acres of gardens and wooded paths and to share a
safe, quiet place for others to experience the restoration
of mind, body, and spirit through nature.
Feel free to read, draw, walk, sit, swing (on a swing
or hammock), journal or meditate. Please enjoy and
honor the quiet so that you and others can hear nature
speaking. Deb, a licensed clinical social worker,
will be available to help guide the nature experience.
Healing Gardens is free. Individuals and groups are
welcome. 37W249 Dean Street | St. Charles,
IL 60175 | 630-377-1846 (just west of
