There had been some cool alley finds on this hot day, but not a real prize.
Then I turned into a shady alley, sweet smelling and comforting.
It was a Healing Garden.
Turns out this alley is one of 2 Healing Gardens. A concept designed by artist Monica Wickeler & Indigenous artist Nyle Miigizi, the alley is filled with native plants and healing medicines. The Anishinaabe Nation’s story of the gift of Jewelweed was handed down to Nyle from his grandmother, Verna Patronella Johnston.
Mural artist Gosia Komorski was hired to paint.
Healing… we can all use some right now.
Best to be whole and positive, as we go into what seems will be a hectic new year.
Now it’s winter, but I fully intend to find the other Healing Garden, in late spring when the herbs are happening.

If you click on the document below, you can read about the project. Pardon for the sloppy shot!
This song is not about a Healing Garden, but it feels like one. (Yes, the image is moving!)
