COVID-19 and The GEG
Dear Guelph Enabling Garden Community and Volunteers,
Spring is here. At a time when the Guelph Enabling Garden would normally be scheduling volunteers and planning Horticultural Therapy programming, we feel the need to provide our community with an important update with regards to the healthcare-directed COVID-19 restrictions.
The Guelph Enabling Garden volunteering and Horticultural Therapy programs have been suspended until further notice. We will provide more updates as needed in the coming weeks and months. Please continue to follow us on our Facebook or Twitter pages.
We know that the Guelph Enabling Garden provides joy, mental health, and a social connection for many people. Our hearts are with everyone who are experiencing a difficult time right now however we remain committed to your well-being and hopefully we’ll be able to welcome you in the Garden again soon. This can only happen if we follow the directions of health officials by observing physical distancing and other precautions which is the best way to protect ourselves and others.

Stay safe, and take care of yourselves.
Sincerely,
The Guelph Enabling Garden Board of Directors
