The #CharlesRiver #CommunityGarden in #AllstonMA helped me to cope when I lived in the city. While I didn't have a plot, I still enjoyed the #GreenSpace and it helped ground and calm me. I hope it stays around for many, many more years!
History of our Garden
"The Charles River Community Garden, #CRCG, was established in 1979/80 by Julie Hensler, who could not find an available plot in the Herter Garden. She contacted the Dept of Food and Agriculture community gardening program and was told there was land further upstream. She rounded up 20 friends and they staked out a 60’ x 40’ garden and turned the soil. It was then divided into 10’ x 20’ plots. Adjacent to the CRCG was the #BostonFoodCoop Small #VictoryGarden. In 1985-86 Julie and her husband took a year off to travel around the world, giving the work of Garden Coordinator to two gardeners who failed to do the job. The garden appeared abandoned and the Dept of Agriculture threatened to terminate the lease. 'Julie called all of the garden members from 1984: many had moved, some had just given up. The list of active gardeners was only about half a dozen people. Everywhere Jule went she tried to convince people to join the garden. Those who joined took 2, 3 or even 4 plots to keep the garden running. The effort was successful, and the garden got approval from the Dept of Agriculture to continue.' In 1996 the two gardens merged under Sue Wymelenberg, who secured funds for the fence and formed the Garden Council. Sue was succeeded by Peter Burns."

‘Into the Wild’: A meta-synthesis of talking therapy in natural outdoor spaces
This Meta-synthesis highlights the benefits of holding therapy sessions in #nature, which can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance emotional well-being. While outdoor therapy offers unique advantages, such as greater openness and connection with nature, it also requires careful consideration of client suitability and professional training.
"Summary:
This article explores the benefits of conducting talking therapy in natural outdoor settings, which can reduce stress and improve mood. By integrating therapy with nature, practitioners enhance emotional well-being and encourage open expression. A review of 38 studies involving 322 practitioners and 163 clients outlines best practices and techniques.
Outdoor therapy ranges from using nature as a calming backdrop to actively incorporating the environment into sessions. While challenges like client suitability and professional training exist, the study highlights its growing potential in mental health care. However, a few limitations were identified such as potential distractions, lack of privacy, and lack of control around weather conditions."

‘The nourishing soil of the soul’: The role of #HorticulturalTherapy in promoting well-being in community-dwelling people with #dementia
#Gardening can help people with dementia feel more active, connected, and less lonely by improving their physical and mental well-being. The article highlights the need for more #Accessible gardening programs in the community to support social engagement and a better quality of life.
Summary:
"This article explores how gardening and nature-based activities can improve the well-being of people living with dementia, especially those in a long-term care community. Many individuals with dementia experience loneliness and a decline in their ability to engage in daily activities. Gardening offers a way to stay active, connect with nature, and interact with others. Which can help reduce stress, boost mood, and improve both physical and mental health. Despite strong evidence of its benefits in care homes, horticultural therapy is not widely used in community settings.
The authors highlight the need for more opportunities for people with dementia to engage in gardening, as it can promote social connections and a sense of purpose. They argue that making gardens accessible and integrating horticultural therapy into community care programs could significantly improve quality of life. By encouraging outdoor activities, people with dementia may feel more included, confident, and independent in their daily lives."

Before and after photos. My #HomeGarden 3 years ago and today! My hope is that some of the squash and cukes will climb the fence... If not, I may have to make some supports for them like I did 3 years ago.

Accessible Places In #Toronto’s Great Outdoors
by Tatiana Furtado, June 2, 2021
"Summer days are here and so are the endless possibilities of outdoor activities! Planning a fun day outdoors is exciting and it’s important that everyone is included. From the city’s hidden gems, to the mainstream parks and paths, we’ve listed accessible places in Toronto for you to explore!
#HumberRiver Recreation Trail
The Humber River trail is a break from the hectic city noise. The surrounding greenery makes it soothing, quiet and enjoyable! The trail follows alongside the Humber River and is 8.2 KM in distance. Its paved concrete surface makes it 100% accessible for people using #wheelchair / #MobilityEquipment or #strollers! There’s a designated walking path for pedestrians so bikers can enjoy their time too. The most #accessible part of the trail is the first kilometre and there are plenty of benches along the trail for anyone in need. This trail is pet friendly too, so bring your dog along with you next time!
Note: Also check out West Humber River Recreation Trail for a longer trail of 19 km!
At 750 Bloor Street West, Christie Pits Parks is a beautiful place for all outdoor activities. The park has baseball fields, basketball and volleyball courts, a playground and a beautiful community garden! There are benches located at the centre of the garden that allow you to take in all the beautiful flowers!
Sidewalks, concrete pavement and well-kept grass makes this space accessible to anyone in the community. This is a great place to plan yourself a picnic, while enjoying the summer sun! You can even catch people walking the tight rope!
Street parking is available around the outskirts of the park.
#TrinityBellwoods Park
You can never get tired of Trinity Bellwoods because its such a great place to be when the weather is nice! Trinity Bellwoods park is such a welcoming environment and accessible to anyone in the city! You can always find a bunch of people enjoying their time and letting loose here. It’s also close to so many delicious food spots! The paved trails make it a safe, accessible environment and public washroom are also available. There’s endless activities to do here, so get ready if you want to have some fun! Definitely one of the most accessible places in Toronto for a day outdoors.
If you find yourself here sometime soon, check out King Slice at 1130 Queen St W. This is possibility the best and biggest pizza in the city!
#NorthernRavines And Gardens Trail
The Northern Ravines and Gardens Trail runs 5.5 KM in distance. Its a walking and hiking only trail fully surrounded in nature! This is the perfect trail for people using wheelchair/mobility equipment since they don’t have to worry about getting in the way of any bikers. A good place to start the trail is at #LawrenceSubwayStation and it will lead you through #LawrencePark, #Chatsworth, #Blythwood and #SherwoodPark ravines! This is a beautiful place to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon!"

Accessible Places In #Toronto’s Great Outdoors
by Tatiana Furtado, June 2, 2021
"Summer days are here and so are the endless possibilities of outdoor activities! Planning a fun day outdoors is exciting and it’s important that everyone is included. From the city’s hidden gems, to the mainstream parks and paths, we’ve listed accessible places in Toronto for you to explore!
#HumberRiver Recreation Trail
The Humber River trail is a break from the hectic city noise. The surrounding greenery makes it soothing, quiet and enjoyable! The trail follows alongside the Humber River and is 8.2 KM in distance. Its paved concrete surface makes it 100% accessible for people using #wheelchair / #MobilityEquipment or #strollers! There’s a designated walking path for pedestrians so bikers can enjoy their time too. The most #accessible part of the trail is the first kilometre and there are plenty of benches along the trail for anyone in need. This trail is pet friendly too, so bring your dog along with you next time!
Note: Also check out West Humber River Recreation Trail for a longer trail of 19 km!
At 750 Bloor Street West, Christie Pits Parks is a beautiful place for all outdoor activities. The park has baseball fields, basketball and volleyball courts, a playground and a beautiful community garden! There are benches located at the centre of the garden that allow you to take in all the beautiful flowers!
Sidewalks, concrete pavement and well-kept grass makes this space accessible to anyone in the community. This is a great place to plan yourself a picnic, while enjoying the summer sun! You can even catch people walking the tight rope!
Street parking is available around the outskirts of the park.

I feel so blessed to live in a rural area. This view was a short (15 minute) drive from my house. The land is owned by a local family-run orchard, and offers "pick your own" apple picking in the fall!

So, my makeshift garden gate door needs some support. I did an inventory of hardware, and I need a few parts, so off to the local hardware store. Then a quick jaunt to "Apple Blossom Hill" for a recharge and photos, and some #CommunityGarden time on the way back. And bonus -- I get to play with my recently acquired wood mitre box (none of that plastic shit) and Japanese hand saws! Psyched!
