The Healing Garden Project idea seed was planted around the time I started my Bachelor Degree in Naturopathy in 2012. The idea behind it was to capture and share the healing properties of gardening, being in nature and in touch with the earth. I worked fulfilling but stressful jobs at the time and was also studying. The garden was my escape and reprieve from all the pressures, both external and internal. Many plants were kept in pots and transported through 3 property moves, from Caboolture, to Elimbah and now finally settling in Delaney’s Creek.
There is a selection of herbs, medicinal, edible, fruit and nut trees that will be incorporated in to the various gardens over the 5 acres. The Naturopathy clinic has garden beds planted out with herbs, medicinal plants and flower varieties to display the herbal medicines and flower essences that I can prescribe and demonstrate the conditions they can grow in, so others can learn to how to grow, harvest and use them. Small Workshops will be held once the gardens are more established.
I am currently in the process of completing my Animal, Equine and Nature Assisted Learning, Growth and Health Practitioner training and will be offering those services later this year as private sessions and homeschool groups.
