A Thank you to the Whistling Gardens
For years, Darren and I have talked about a Garden Sculpture Show here at the Whistling Gardens. Now, after many years, we have installed 12 Sculptures made by the Advanced Students and the Educators of the Donn Zver School of Pottery.
We are honoured to have displayed our creations here and thank both Darren and Wanda for this extraordinary opportunity. Thank you to the Whistling Gardens for being such a beautiful setting for these Sculptures. Wander through the gardens and delight in the Artistry of these works in Clay.

Forest Therapy Walk at Whistling Gardens!
2026-08-14 10:00 - 14:00 | Whistling Gardens, 698 Concession 3 Townsend, Wilsonville, Ontario, N0E 1Z0, Canada
Forest Therapy Walk at Whistling Gardens!
SUMMER / August 14th 10am – 12noon
Register: https://luma.com/8rakpe3p
Slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with nature during a guided 2-hour forest therapy walk in the beautifully landscaped grounds of Whistling Gardens. This immersive experience invites you to step out of daily busyness and into a gentle, mindful relationship with the natural world.
Forest therapy (also known as Shinrin-yoku or “forest bathing”) is a guided, sensory-based practice that supports mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Through a series of slow, intentional invitations such as noticing textures, sounds, scents, and seasonal changes, you’ll be encouraged to move at a relaxed pace, rest often, and experience the gardens in a new and meaningful way.
Come as you are, dress for the weather, and allow yourself to be gently guided into a deeper sense of calm, presence, and connection with nature and with yourself. The session includes a tea ceremony where your guide will introduce you to a locally sourced plant for the tea. She will also provide snacks. Feel free to bring water or your own snacks to consume at any time during the walk.
Participants will have the opportunity to continue exploring the gardens after the event.
Guide: Nadia Frost is a registered psychotherapist, a certified forest therapy guide as well as a forest therapy trail consultant. She has been leading groups in local parks around the Greater Toronto Area, helping people reconnect with their senses and find calm through nature. Nadia also shares her expertise on mental health with businesses and their employees through engaging webinars.
