This event is the Arboretum’s contribution to a whole week of events being held throughout Australia and New Zealand, for Botanic Gardens Week called ‘Botanic Gardens: Where Your Health Grows’ focused on the many health and wellbeing benefits of botanic gardens and arboretums, organised by Botanic Gardens Australia & New Zealand.
Psychologist Tracy Spencer-Lloyd and nature-connection educator Pat Fleming will summarise the findings from a recent 8-week Wellbeing pilot program held at the Arboretum, and will look at current research on nature connection benefits and how nature heals us. We’ll look at ‘green prescribing’ where wellbeing in nature activities and programs are now prescribed by G.P.s and health practitioners across Canada, Europe, and the UK with well researched outcomes.
Event attendance is $5 for Arboretum members, $15 for non-members including entrance.
