From ancient times, gardens have played a vital role in the healing traditions of many cultures. The garden and its creation provide ways for experiencing healing in a very accessible and personal way. The power of the earth and the changing power of vegetation that fruits and seeds, and then is reborn to grow and fruit again, is enriching to the physical body and to the emotions of the mind. This course is designed to help you design, grow and maintain your own Garden of Healing.
