Sharing your time sharing in safe conversations
Be a part of a welcoming team of volunteers who share plants, share experiences in nature, and help build awareness for self-care and mental-health wellness through plants and nature.
​
Build and grow public healing gardens
Help us to design, develop, and install healing garden projects in community centres, schools, and other public venues. We will be working with different community groups to create healing gardens and guide their members on how to care for the plants.

Community Outreach: Plant care and wellness workshops
Program started in August 2020
Help organize, lead, or assist in delivering workshops on plant care, propagation, macrame making, art therapy, and many other eco-therapy related activities.
Join our volunteers to help others learn skills which may help them to take on a new hobby, to get outdoors, and to share their experiences and stories with others.
Our workshop programs take place in various settings: public (cafes), educational (elementary, high schools), wellness groups (University student groups, and community social programs, and clinical care centres).
Building indoor nursery spaces
Help us to find partners in your community who can host indoor nurseries for our collected plants in our plant sharing programs. We also seek the help of individuals who are keen to setup and install temporary greenhouse installations, and who may be interested to setup and manage climate control and lighting equipment.

Community Sharing Program: Donate + Propagate + Share
Starting October 2021
​
Together we will collect, propagate, share learnings, and hand out plants to groups and individuals who may be in need of support from their community. The shared plants are shared to offer our friendship to others who may be experiencing mental health challenges and who may wish to have some plants.
