Working with the healing power of plants can help to decrease stress and anxiety, process grief, and improve overall well-being. Through activities that combine plant materials with eco-mindfulness and creative tools, the workshops in this therapeutic horticulture series explore the five senses to support connection with ourselves, one another, and the natural environment of Nature’s Sanctuary, Laurel Hill’s native plant garden and green burial area. Sessions are led by Kate Irvine, a trained horticulturist and mixed media artist with a certificate in Horticultural Therapy, joined by guest speakers. Participants are invited to attend one, some, or all of the sessions. August Session: Grounding Wisdom
As plants begin to undergo their autumnal processes, they offer lessons on going inward to find nutrition and stability. We’ll use our hands to learn about barks, roots, and soil textures and conservation in this workshop grounded in the wisdom of touch, as well as create Zen gardens with bear paws and other succulents.
