GET INVOLVED
Therapy Celebration Garden
Everyone in Canada is invited to Live the Garden Life, and share their garden. Did you know your garden is an important space for personal health and healing?
What are you celebrating?
Putting some time into your garden, getting exercise and fresh air outdoors, and getting your hands in touch with the soil biome has been shown to reduce stress and make people feel better and healthier. Sensory inputs from gardens like fragrances, sounds, visual design and colour cues, taste and touch have all been shown to have beneficial effects. More and more health care facilities are adding therapeutic gardens to help patients recover.
By signing up your garden as a Therapeutic Celebration Garden you will be helping others learn from your gardening success. It’s an expression of how your garden was and continues to make you feel?
Register your Therapeutic Celebration Garden at no cost, by submitting a photo of your garden. Your entry will be pinned on the map (by community not exact location) and you will receive a special downloadable Year of the Garden 2022 Celebration Garden Certificate of participation.
