Therapy garden opens at Northlands College
Northlands College has officially opened a therapy garden for all members of the public at its campus in Air Ronge.
The garden was designed and developed by Mental Health and Wellness Instructor Charlene Bosiak, who spearheaded the project after receiving a professional development grant to take the Master Gardener Course through the University of Saskatchewan.
“It’s a certificate and you take eight courses, and it is everything from gardening fundamentals, plant botany, pesticides, tree, bush and shrub identification, that type of stuff,” she said.
“It was really enjoyable, and then at the end of the course, you had to do a 40-hour practicum, so since the college paid for my course, I offered to pay them back and choose them first.”
