Description:
A sensory garden program for adults that will utilize hands-on experiences to encourage participants to appreciate and connect with nature.
Have you ever felt relaxed while listening to chirping birds, feeling sunshine on your face, or tending to a garden? Spending time in nature can positively influence our physical, emotional, and mental wellness. You are invited to join us each month for a slow morning in the garden; we will use our senses to pay attention to and experience the nature around us.
A member of the horticulture team will guide you through creating a nature journal, making art with natural materials, observation walks, and more. We will learn the science behind how spending time in nature is beneficial for our physiological and psychological systems and discuss how we can incorporate intentional nature experiences into our daily lives.
Each event comes with free entry to the Garden for the remainder of the day once the program is complete.
Participants are encouraged to wear shoes for walking and bring a water bottle and towel to sit on if you'd like.
