Over the past few years, DUG has been expanding our educational offerings and tailoring them to community needs.
Alongside this expansion, we’ve incorporated Therapeutic Gardening into the mix. This led to us launching our Therapeutic Gardening workshop series this year – and so far it’s taking off.
This new workshop series includes 3 offerings to educate our community about therapeutic & sensory gardening and encourage them to add these elements into their growing spaces.
These workshops can be taken as a series (we encourage it!) but can also be one-off experiences to inspire curiosity.
As DUG incorporates therapeutic & sensory elements into existing growing spaces and expands our Therapeutic & Sensory Gardens beyond our 4 pilot spaces, it becomes more important to ensure our community knows what they are, what they do, and how they can enjoy the benefits of these spaces.
The 2025 Therapeutic Gardening workshop offerings include:
- May 31, 2025: Planting a Sensory Garden
- August 16, 2025: Building a Wellness Practice in Nature
- September 6, 2025: Fresh Teas + Meditation
Registration is required to attend and is pay-what-you-can – save your spot!
