Celebrating World Therapeutic Horticulture Day with Therapeutic Horticulture Australia Meet Up’s
World Therapeutic Horticulture Day (WTHD), is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness of how plant-based activities improve mental and physical health. It highlights the work of practitioners and encourages communities to experience the healing power of nature through gardening, horticulture therapy, and nature-based sensory experiences.
Join us (Therapeutic Horticulture Australia) at our Autumn Meet Up at the Tasmanian Bushland Garden, Buckland.
The Tasmanian Bushland Garden is a special reserve and display garden featuring the native flora of south-east Tasmania.
It is located beside the Tasman Highway 4 km south of Buckland and approximately 50 km north-east of Hobart – about one hour’s drive.
The reserve comprises some 20 ha of natural bushland, with walking tracks leading to a central hilltop lookout and a pleasant creek valley, and about 1.5 ha of landscaped display gardens.
Facilities include a picnic shelters, public toilets, picnic tables, electric barbecues, walking tracks, children’s playground area, and a sealed car park. A popular focal point is a landscaped quarry with a waterfall and pond. Many people drop in for lunch or a cuppa, and enjoy a walk around the gardens or through the bushland.
The gardens have been entirely developed by volunteers, and are owned, managed and maintained by the volunteer group for the benefit of all.
Meet your host, Mandy Agrawal.
Mandy is a Horticulturist and Therapeutic Horticulture Practitioner, and the founder of My Garden Companion, a therapeutic gardening service based in Tasmania. She specialises in working with children and supporting people to garden confidently in their own homes, using nature-based activities to promote wellbeing and connection.
Bring a plate for shared lunch.
