AJAX Indigenous Community and Healing Garden

What a year 2024 has been so far! Operation EcoPen has been so immersed in exciting community projects that we haven’t posted in a while!😮

We’re thrilled to share one of our favorites: the Indigenous Community and Healing Garden in Ajax 🌱 This beautiful space is a sanctuary for the staff, patients, and volunteers of Ajax Pickering Hospital, as well as the surrounding community. It provides nourishing food and supports mental well-being at the same time.

A huge thank you to Women For Nature for their incredible support through the Young Nature Leaders Grant🌸 @naturecanada_ This grant has empowered us to enrich this garden with a variety of seedlings, including Indigenous species, for a flourishing 2024 growing season 🥕🍅🥦

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to nurture this beautiful space! 👨‍🌾
