The beautifully manicured grounds of Stedman Community Hospice have
become a place of solace for residents and their families.
.
Soon they will be a place of healing and fellowship when the hospice
introduces a horticultural therapy program for St. Joseph Lifecare Centres
205 long-term care residents and hospice users.
.
Led by horticultural therapist Lynn Leach, the newly installed program,
said to be the first of its kind in the province, will help instill a
sense of peace and well-being through nature.
.
The first thing that we are trying to implement is a mens walking group,
Leach said.
.
It will be held one morning a week where men who have lost somebody go for
an hour-long walk, then come back for coffee, tea and maybe a talk. We are
specifically targeting men because we feel it is a population that has
difficulty opening up.
.
Walkers will likely begin and end their stroll in the lovely perennial
gardens that Leach created with staff and volunteers, including the
tireless efforts of Bill Chenoweth and Ruth Janiec.
.
Wed like to incorporate things like plant identification, bird watching,
those sorts of things along the walk to include a little bit of education
in horticulture too, Leach said.
.
Whether they are working in the garden, or just sitting and listening to
birds singing, there is a feeling of peace and serenity for those with a
love of nature.

.
During the winter months nature-related workshops and classes will be held
indoors. The courses will cover topics like indoor plants, medicinal
plants and flower arranging.
