Mister Rogers Remixed | Garden of Your Mind | PBS Digital Studios

Health care communicators: Looking for creative ideas for your marketing and social media efforts?

Stop for a minute and remember the encouragement Mr. Rogers shared each day, then pick those ideas from the “Garden of Your Mind.”

John D. Boswell, creator of the Symphony of Science series of YouTube videos. created the digital remix. In a Mashable article, Kevin Morrison, chief operating officer of the Fred Rogers Company, commented on the video, saying,

I think that the thing we like about the piece most of all is how it shows that Fred was really ahead of his time. The message that it’s good to be curious, to use your imagination, and that ideas are the ‘garden produce’ of a fertile mind was something he stressed throughout his career. The video also celebrates another ‘Freddism’—we’re all different in terms of what we’re good at, but we can all make a special contribution.

So, if you grew up on Mr. Rogers or watched it with your kids, and you are creative today, don’t be surprised if some of those lessons have carried over from your days in “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.”
