The AgingWell Senior Garden Program

By nurturing connections between the natural environment, meaningful activity, the bounty of work and personal relationships, gardens and gardening enhance the aging experience.¹ AgingWell has forged these connections through our garden program, which has flourished since 2012. To date, we have repurposed spaces around the community for older adults to garden at 11 locations.

Each site has a fully functioning produce garden and a garden club that tends them. Our partnership with Resolution Gardens has enabled AgingWell to create a sustainable program that provides joy and nourishment.
