\u201cThe glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just on the body, but the soul.\u201d \u2013Alfred Austin<\/em><\/p>\n

Through the spring Going to the Garden<\/a> webinar series, we have explored how to start community gardens<\/a> and how environmental degradation<\/a> affects conflicts. Join us for this final webinar of the series as we discuss the hidden benefits of community gardens including spiritual wellness, relationship building, and trauma healing.<\/p>\n

Gardening is about more than plants and the hopeful harvest of fruits and vegetables that they promise. Gardens provide a space to bring people from all walks of life together, while also facilitating emotional healing and spiritual growth.<\/p>\n

Interested participants will be eligible to receive 0.1 Continuing Education Units. If interested, please e-mail kfurrow@brethren.org<\/p>\n
