Growing Wellbeing with the OISE Community Learning Garden
One thing the pandemic has brought is a greater awareness of the need to connect with the natural world, especially in the heart of the city, to support human wellbeing. OISE’s Community Learning Garden provides this connection in its ninth growing season.
Located at the front of the OISE building, its five themed garden beds contain over 25 native plant species that create a rich habitat for insects, animals, birds and humans to enjoy. It is a highly visible example of the positive impacts of greening urban spaces, as its benefits are easily accessible to all those who travel past it on Bloor Street West. Can’t make it to the Learning Garden in person this year? Take a video tour instead, learn more about it on the web, or join its ongoing webinar series on educational gardening that continues through the fall.
