Nature Rx

Connect with the healing power of nature at home or by exploring our campus green spaces.

Established in 2017 in partnership with the Arboretum and Public Garden, the Nature Rx series provides you with hands-on activities or educational workshops to incorporate nature into your daily life. Sessions have included: building a terrarium, potting succulents, flower arranging, nature photography, landscape/garden tours, and painting with watercolors.
