About this service
Participants in our program - who suffer from such problems as vision impairment, dementia, developmental disabilities, the inability to walk and more - have gained improved self-worth, a sense of discovery and a feeling of belonging in addition to both mental and physical stimulation. In gardening therapy, all five senses are stimulated at the same time. Sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing are enhanced in the process of working with plants.
So it is well known that Garden Therapy benefits the mind, has effects of stress relief, improved mood and emotional well being. Vancouver ecoVillage provides the opportunity for renewed mental and physical health and social connection through cooperation and teamwork.
We work together with Community Inclusion Groups such as the Spectrum Society, posAbilities and Canadian Mental Health Association, to help empower their members through skill development, physical coordination, integrated teamwork, and socialization.
