The Garden Respite Fund

Next year, 1 in 5 Canadians will experience a mental health challenge*. For as little as $15, you can give someone going through some of the hardest times in their life a place to reflect, find peace, and begin to heal.

By donating to the Garden Respite Fund, your donation will help families spend quality time together when they are grieving. You will empower counselors to provide walk & talk therapy. You can give countless people facing extreme hardship a chance to find peace among the trees.

Please consider helping those who need it most.
