Growing Wellness: Plants, People and a Thriving Planet
Explore how gardens—from intimate personal spaces to expansive public landscapes—can heal individuals, strengthen communities, and support a healthier planet. Learn how thoughtful design, inclusive access, sustainable plant choices, and a willingness to embrace imperfection all contribute to resilient landscapes and resilient people. Gardeners have the profound power to become catalysts for wellness, connection and ecological restoration through our approach to planting, design and the creation of shared greenspaces.
