El Paso Children's Garden, breaking ground soon.... 🌱
Yesterday, our board members, Daisy J Godfrey and Margie Parra-Juchem had the opportunity to meet with Dennece Knight, founder of El Paso Children's Garden, along with our partner-friend Priscilla Estrello that connected us. 🫶
The presentation and vision for the future El Paso Botanical Garden, left us feeling truly inspired and quite speechless!
Daisy's words, "Its going to be like nature's Six Flags here in El Paso, with so much colorful beauty and art."
Features include:
7 path labyrinth
32 themed gardens (yes, 32 🤯)
10 event venues
Seeing the passion and purpose being poured into this project was amazing! The vision that is coming to life has the potential to become something truly special for our city, a place filled with beauty, peace, art, education, connection, and growth right here in our El Paso desert.
From a RelentlessIQ perspective, we immediately saw the impact a space like this could have on our differently-abled members and families across our community.
Gardens and artistic outdoor spaces create opportunities for sensory engagement, emotional wellness, social connection, relaxation, creativity, volunteering, jobs, and community inclusion.
Spaces like this can become safe and welcoming environments where individuals of all abilities can explore, learn, connect, and simply enjoy the beauty around them.
As a community, this is way more than a garden, it is an opportunity to create something meaningful that brings people together, encourages wellness, inspires creativity, and gives El Paso another reason to be proud of who we are and where we are headed.
We fully support this vision and absolutely see the opportunity and positive impact it can bring for generations to come.
Watching a dream begin to turn into reality is an amazing thing, and we are excited to see this vision continue coming to life. 🌱🌵✨
