Stopping to Smell the Roses

​How roses and gardens can help our bodies and minds.
Queen’s Park Rose Garden
3rd Avenue, New Westminster, BC

​Friday, September 1st

1:00 – 2:30 pm

Discover the aromatic gems and wellness potential within Queen’s Park Rose Garden. As we explore the history and fascination with roses, we will take some time to stop and smell a few (or a lot!) and practice some simple sensory awareness techniques for brain and heart health.

Gifts of the Garden

How interacting with the garden environment can keep communities healthy.
Ryall Park Therapeutic Community Garden
920 Ewen Avenue, New Westminster, BC  (Across the parking lot from Queensborough Community Centre)
​
​Saturday, September 2nd

​1:00 pm – 2:30 pm

Explore the different therapeutic elements of this community garden, and how you and your whole family can use this space for your health and wellness.

Immersing ourselves in the different spaces and wide variety of plants, we will practice methods of mindfully connecting with urban nature to help reduce the impacts of everyday stress.

Pollinator Protection Party

Give support to our local pollinators!
Ryall Park Therapeutic Community Garden
920 Ewen Avenue, New Westminster, BC  (Across the parking lot from Queensborough Community Centre)
​​
​Saturday, September 9th

11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Help us care for some important areas of the garden, while learning mindful gardening practices. I will share how to identify what is helpful and what might be causing unnecessary challenges – in the garden and your life!

​We will discuss a wide range of pollinator needs (and how they help people stay healthy and happy), as well as how to recognize what garden weeds to pull (invasive species), what to leave (natives and medicinal plants), and what you can do in this community garden, and around your home, to help local species thrive.
