A Year in Virtual Garden Discovery WalksJanuary 27, 2022
In 2021, the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center and Seattle Parks and Recreation decided to continue the virtual version of the Garden Discovery Walk program, as a way to connect the memory loss community to nature and horticulture therapy during the pandemic. Peach Jack, horticultural therapist and MBWC intern, took the lead this year. She hosted and created the virtual tours of local gardens and the accompanying nature-inspired project designed for people to follow at home. This program continues to be possible because of generous, ongoing support from Family Resource Home Care.
