    Description:

    Session Overview: Need a mid-day pause? Come to the Community Garden. Take a moment to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy nature as we explore the calming power of herbs and presence. This session welcomes everyone; those who simply love being in gardens and those who enjoy getting their hands dirty, too. Through this inclusive approach, we’ll explore how gardens can nourish us in different ways.

    Shine or Rain:
    If it rains lightly, we'll still meet, just bring an umbrella! In case of heavy rain, the session may be postponed to a later date in the season.

    Location: The New Garden Beds behind Nicol Hall

    Light Refreshments will be provided.

    Organizer and Facilitator

    Gardens 4 Joy 

    It is an initiative at ֱ that aims to help foster the wellbeing of students, faculty, and staff through gardens and gardening. Based on her previous research and decades of experience creating and savouring gardens, Dr. Maha Al Makhamreh founded this initiative and successfully implemented it in the spring of 2024. 

    Maha acknowledges: “Thanks to a big team of believers in positive change, passionate gardeners, and participants in every form, the initiative went above and beyond last season—and continues to thrive.”
