ALLEN SAPP GALLERY HEALING GARDEN

Allen Sapp Gallery is creating a "living space" - a Native Medicinal Plant Community Garden - behind the gallery. The Healing Garden vision is to build this garden with the helping hands of the community and it would not be possible without all the energy, creativity, and inspiration that the community has already brought to this project.

The Healing Garden is possible with the generous support of our Partners: The Allen Sapp Gallery, The Evergreen Fund, The City of North Battleford, and Living Sky School Division.
