About the Event
We broke ground in May 2023. Phase I includes small native plant plugs and native plant donations including the four sacred Indigenous plants. We chose native shade/forest plants because of the large existing elm trees. The development of the garden includes incorporating teachings and ceremonies into the use of the healing garden. Elder Lorna Standingready provides her guidance and wisdom with every aspect of the garden. It will be a place for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to come in the spirit of reconciliation to heal, reflect, share, listen and build respect and understanding.
The idea for the healing garden came from The National Healing Forest Initiative. In the spirit of reconciliation, the Initiative promotes people and organizations to develop a green space for healing, learning, sharing and reflection about Canada’s history and the legacy of Indian Residential schools.
