Ascension Providence Foundation

Ascension Providence Foundation

Since 1854, Providence Hospital, under the spiritual leadership of the Daughters of Charity, has provided quality service and care to the citizens of the Mobile area. Our mission is to work among the sick and needy, and the Daughters are committed to administering care, support and love to their patients.

Through continued guidance, Ascension Providence has grown from a modest 60-bed facility to a 277-acre health care complex in west Mobile. Ascension Providence provides services encompassing the realm of medical knowledge such as outpatient surgery, radiation therapy, laser surgery, and diagnostic and invasive cardiology. However, to continue to offer the highest level of technology, donations from friends and supporters are needed.

Ascension Providence Foundation supports its mission through the presentation of two annual fundraising community events.

2023 Festival of Flowers back at Ascension Providence Hospital Campus!

The 30th annual Festival of Flowers, will proudly showcase gardens of Japanese influence by Lead Designer, Dale Speetjens, of Shipshape Urban Farms. You will feel led into a new space as you enter the Torii gates and glimpse Mount Fuji in a mural created by The Nest of Mobile. Continue to stroll through a tranquil bamboo forest to six locally landscaped gardens that demonstrate the historical evolution of Japanese gardening, beginning with the Heian period, through its continuous impact on modern landscape design with each space complementing the other.  A constructed tea house will float on a peaceful pond enhanced by raised flowers and plants.  Find balance, as you gaze at a center zen garden that represents unspoiled nature viewed differently from many focal points throughout the show amid floral geisha and warrior masks sculpted by our area’s most talented designers. Produced by the Ascension Providence Foundation, the 2023 Festival of Flowers will inspire and nurture the gardener in all of us.  Recognized for over a decade as a Top 20 Event by the Southeast Tourism Society, the 2023 Festival of Flowers continues the tradition of delighting and educating visitors of all ages.  March 23-26, come celebrate with us and “Feel the Zen”!
