The act of gardening has its many benefits, but the result of gardening can be just as powerful. Therapeutic gardens are popping up more and more in rehabilitative and health care settings. These gardens use the healing elements of nature, colors, textures and fragrances to provide a sense of wellness or to facilitate interaction. Duncaster’s Caleb Hitchcock Health Center has created a sensory garden designed to be a relaxing, secure space where residents can engage all of their senses as they explore.

If you’ve got a green thumb, you’re most likely familiar with the healing and mood boosting benefits of gardening. If you choose to move to Duncaster, you’ll be able to take your gardening passion with you! Our Community Gardens are prepped every year by our grounds crew and all the tools you need are stored in the shed right on site. We also have a climate-controlled, indoor greenhouse/solarium where Landscape and Garden Professional Catherine Lyons and the Duncaster Greenhouse Committee care for a variety of lush and lovely plant specimens.
