Meetings
What if working with plants could improve both physical and mental well-being? Join us on May 25 and learn about how caring for plants help people too. Sherry Dodson presents a topic close to her heart – ‘Harvesting Health & Healing: Horticultural Therapy’. This presentation introduces horticultural therapy, explores its goals, and highlights who can benefit from this unique and effective therapeutic approach.
Sherry holds a Horticulturist Certificate from the University of Guelph and a Certificate in Horticultural Therapy from the Toronto Botanical Garden. She has been an active member of the Durham Master Gardeners since 2011. Sherry is passionate about the natural connection between people and plants, and she works to harness this bond to help individuals improve their well-being—whether it’s by enhancing mobility, encouraging physical activity, or fostering a more positive outlook on life.
