Natural mindfulness, sit-spotting, forest bathing - you may have heard some of these terms, but what do they all mean? Join Jimmy Vincent, the Humber Arboretum's Coordinator of Education, Camps and Community Outreach, for a presentation and discussion on how spending time in nature can improve health and wellness.
Lunch and Learns at the Humber Arboretum’s Centre for Urban Ecology offer free introductions to topics related to gardening, ecology, and sustainability.
Bring your lunch and enjoy a casual learning environment overlooking the Arboretum grounds. Tea and coffee will be served.
This event is free but please RSVP to help us plan.
