Horticulture Corner: Forest Therapy
March 26 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
| FREEThe pandemic called us back into the woods. Now more than ever, people are seeking holistic approaches to increasing health and wellness. The forest has been written about as a place of mystery, danger, and wonder.
Join Dr. Edward W. Wilson as he discusses the therapeutic value of a guided forest therapy walk. He will share the history, mechanics, and applications for its practice.
In his first career, Dr. Wilson spent 37 years in Manhattan as a cosmetic dentist specializing in caring for patients with dental phobia. His second career in landscape design and nature therapy combines his love of nature, helping people achieve higher levels of health and wellness, and his training as both a spiritual director and clinician to deepen the human/nature connection. Through Trey Gardens, Dr. Wilson designs both gardens and activities in residential, commercial, and institutional settings to achieve these outcomes.
The program is free and open to the public, but registration is required so the Garden Club knows how many chairs to provide. We appreciate your help!
