Australia's Nambour General Hospital is recycling trees removed from its new staff and visitor garden to benefit the community, according to an article on the Sunshine Cost Daily website.
While camphor laurel is a declared pest plant because it aggressively replaces native vegetation, its timber is suitable for use by woodworkers.
The timber has been given to a local woodcrafters guild and some of this wood will be used to make toys for under-privileged children.
Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service (SCHHS) is creating the "wellness garden" to provide an inviting green space for patients, visitors and staff.
