GARDEN CENTRES

Anne Kadwell, Landscape & Retail Sector Specialist anne@cnla-acpp.ca www.cnla.ca

At the heart of our mission at the Green Cities Foundation is connecting plants and people to create a greener, healthier urban climate. We know that building strong communities starts with this crucial element. By providing green spaces, individuals of all ages, abilities, and socioeconomic backgrounds can unwind, exercise, and connect with nature. Public parks, gardens, and other green areas offer a multitude of benefits, including improved mental health, stress reduction, and increased physical activity. We believe it is vital to continue investing in and maintaining these resources to ensure they remain lively, welcoming, and inclusive for everyone.
