Welcome to the Guelph Enabling Garden. We're a multi-use garden designed for everyone; for children, the elderly, and families of all types, but especially for those community members with varying degrees of physical and cognitive abilities. Our accessible Garden is specifically designed to enable people to enjoy the full range of benefits that gardening and free Horticultural Therapy programs can provide. It is truly a special place within historic Riverside Park, Guelph

Did you know the Guelph Enabling Garden runs completely on donations, grants, and the power of volunteers? It's true! Every dollar we receive is put back into the Garden's operation, maintenance, and therapeutic horticulture programming.

Like many non-profits, we've experienced funding struggles due to conflicting financial and social burdens. Fundraising nationwide is down, and we weren't able to secure some grants we usually rely on. This is where we need your help!

We are setting an ambitious goal of raising $10,000 by the next Garden season (Spring 2026). Please help us by making a donation and sharing our page!

Some facts about the Garden:

-We welcome over 20,000 visitors, workshop participants and audience members at Tea N Tales (each Friday morning mid June to Labour Day) to the Garden each year.

-We served over 345 horticultural therapy clients this year.

-We are down to about 30% of our usual volunteers, yet as a group, they still donated the same amount of time (almost 1500 hours!) to maintaining and beautifying our Garden in 2025.

Please help us maintain our space and keep horticultural therapy programming free by making a monthly donation today!
