🌿 Another highlight from our Forest Walk Workshop.

If you missed the workshop, here's a look inside the Douglas Fir Teaching Garden, part of Canada's National Healing Forests.

Grace shares how this special space brings people together to learn about Indigenous knowledge, native plants, and reconciliation. From the Sacred Circle carved by Squamish carver John Spence to the Reconciliation Library featuring Indigenous authors, every part of the garden invites learning, reflection, and healing.

Thank you to Grace and the Free the Fern team for sharing this meaningful place with us.
