Katy,
1) For starters, read through the American Community Garden website for
general tips on community gardens and garden people
organization. http://www.communitygarden.org , especially the
Starting a Community Garden Page with a special children's plot
2)
This link on children gardening from the Virgina Tech "Human Issues in
Horticulture" ( http://www.hort.vt.edu/human/human.html )
should be helpful to you. The links on it's horticultural therapy page and links
are pretty useful
http://www.hort.vt.edu/human/Children'sG.html .
It is well worth reading through all of the links on the Virginia Tech page for
ideas and contacts.
3)
This University of Arizona listserve
archive on children's gardening may be of use to
you:
4)
Some Amazon book links to explore:

Butterflies : Ways to Include Children With Disabilities in Outdoor
Activities

5) Good luck. Be sure to get to know the day-to-day
caregivers at the hospital and the kids. Try to get a gut feel about what they
would really use and feel comfortable with in the real
worls.
Best
wishes,
