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.
