When Gardens Don't Heal with Dr. Robert Lyons
(Special Event)
"Although widely believed to be true in anecdotal sense, there is also an abundance of research espousing the curative value of gardens and other green spaces.

This talk will highlight one man's journey following personal loss and the serendipitous role of gardens in the recovery process.

Eventually there is a welcome realization; restoration is not just limited to one's gardens, but to one's soul, as well." More information...
