GARDENING

Gardening is a wonderful activity to help reduce stress and anxiety by providing a soothing rhythm through routines like watering and weeding. It also helps to lighten your mood and improve happiness and life satisfaction. Getting your hands in the soil can trigger the release of serotonin, a natural antidepressant, in the brain. 

Join us at the Big Red Barn Retreat for gardening workshops or seasonal/monthly garden work days where we work in the garden planting and growing vegetables and fruits for every season. 

Weekly volunteer opportunities are available on Thursday mornings from 9:30 AM to 11 AM.  No pre-registration required!
