Walk for gardens

“We're going to go on a symbolic walk," said Pat Harrison, manager of therapeutic services at Eagle Park.

“It's to raise awareness and funds."

Eagle Park has a $200,000 therapeutic garden in its sights. So far only $15,000 has been raised.

“The residents needs to have safe access to outdoor places," Harrison said. “It just means they don't have to be stuck indoors."

Harrison said she's hoping at least 50 residents plus staff, volunteers and family and friends participate in the walk.

“We have 75 residents," Harrison said. “[Fifty] would be a huge coup." .
