Spending time in nature and gardens, like this one in Two Rivers, can help reduce stress and improve mental and physical health.
Join Stacey Shriner, education director with the ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Botanical Garden, to learn more about therapeutic horticulture and how plants can help individuals meet their social, physical and mental health goals. The free, statewide webinar is hosted by the ÀÖ»¢Ö±²¥ Cooperative Extension Service.
