Gardens as Restorative Places with Sandra Schwarz

Altona Library - 123 Queen St, Altona VIC 3018 (Free event - BOOK HERE)

From Humanitix: “Join Sandra Schwarz, landscape architect and author of Restore: How Green Spaces Support Human Restoration, for an inspiring and practical exploration of how gardens and green spaces can become places of refuge, connection and restoration.

Drawing on research into nature connection, wellbeing, landscape design and therapeutic horticulture, Sandra will explore how gardens can support psychological, emotional and social wellbeing. Discover simple, evidence-informed considerations for creating restorative experiences in home gardens, schools, early years environments, community and health settings, and disability support programs.

Through practical examples and hands-on activities, you will identify opportunities to incorporate restorative design considerations into your own garden, program or organisation. Regardless of your budget, available space or gardening experience, you will leave with achievable ideas, practical resources and renewed inspiration.”
