Garden Releaf Day Australia

There has always been a deep seated human need for contact with nature to enrich our lives, alleviate stress and improve our overall well being. With the onset of time-poor busy lifestyles coupled with modern technologies, rapid urbanisation, city living, smaller home block sizes, limited garden spaces it seems people have never been more disassociated with plants and gardens and the age-old joy of gardening. It is possible that many of us, including children can go for days without any real interaction with plants and gardens, all at a time when research continues to show significant benefits plants and gardens can have on improving our physical and mental health. Garden Releaf Day Australia 2020 is Sunday March 22. It aims to raise awareness of the numerous health benefits of plants, gardens and gardening and provide ideas and inspiration to encourage people young and old to get in a garden or to make the home a little greener and to have fun. We will be one of over 40 garden centres across Australia hosting an in store plant party in the lead up to and as part of Garden Releaf Day.
