ECOTHERAPY – A NEED FOR NATURE
THE CHRISTOPHER FARM & GARDENS
Research has revealed that our health and well-being are significantly enhanced by time spent in nature. Creating a space that allows people to connect to nature is an important reason for our guided tours of the gardens. Our staff's dedication to caring for the gardens provides a nurturing, inspiring and healing experience.

Ecotherapy is different from psychotherapy in its focus on transforming our relationship to the natural world and in its reliance on non-risky and non-intrusive interventions.
