Garden Therapy
Garden Therapy's aim is to aid the physical, mental and emotional health of persons in the community who are facing personal challenges such as physical disability, homelessness, violence, mental illness, old age, and so on. We develop garden-related activities that inspire creativity and personal achievement for the individuals we serve.
This is a very flexible committee, so return often to see, below, dates and times for new activities that are currently being planned for 2022-2023.
