Healing Gardeners

The Healing Gardeners, originally organized by Tucker Smith, and now managed by Janet Ganson, lovingly oversee, plan, and maintain the gardens around The Healing Garden center. The group includes professional landscapers, landscape architects, horticulturists, and Master Gardeners. But most are garden enthusiasts or people who volunteer in the garden because they are fans of The Healing Garden's work with clients.

There is no special training or skill required to join the team, and everyone on the team learns from each other. Some people choose to participate in the big Spring and Fall cleanup days; others come individually or in small groups once a month as part of a rotation of weekly maintenance.

The Healing Gardeners meet formally four to six times a year to plan for the season, set priorities, assign tasks, and monitor progress.
