Healing Through Gardening

Garden Education Volunteers partnered with Roseville Parks & Recreation to promote healing gardens, showcasing the restorative power of green spaces.

Launched in 2022, the project raises awareness of the mental and physical benefits of nearby nature. Informational signs and materials in Roseville parks guide visitors in enjoying and benefiting from these spaces. Plans aim to expand across Ramsey County, supporting the mission of building healthier communities.
