Brandon Harrison Memorial Garden
The Brandon Harrison Memorial Garden is a healing centered garden where we grow indigenous healing plants and hold community workshops and healing ceremonies. We also plant Healing Roots trees: which are trees that we plan to honor those who have lost their lives due to violence by planting life where life was taken. In addition to planting trees we offer healing services to families through our Stockton Trauma Recovery Center. We have transformed our garden to be a healing community space; it provides a way for families to have a physical connection with their lost loved ones. This sacred space also reinforces a sense of togetherness so families don’t feel so alone knowing that there are other families around them who have gone through similar experiences, while also helping them go through grief.
Science In The Garden
Be Smooth Inc, in collaboration with Borderless Academics, organized an engaging and enlightening event titled "Science in the Garden" as part of their youth summer program. The event aimed to spark curiosity and foster a love for science among young participants through interactive experiments conducted in a garden setting. Interactive Science Experiments: The event kicked off with a series of interactive science experiments designed to captivate the minds of young participants. From simple chemical reactions to the wonders of physics, each experiment was carefully crafted to be both educational and entertaining. Attendees had the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning experiences, allowing them to actively participate in the scientific process. Under the guidance of experienced facilitators from Borderless Academics, participants conducted experiments, made observations, and drew conclusions, thereby deepening their understanding of scientific concepts. Set amidst the serene backdrop of a garden, the event provided the perfect opportunity for participants to explore the natural world around them. From examining plant life to observing insect behavior, attendees gained a newfound appreciation for the beauty and complexity of nature. Borderless Academics, serving as the guest facilitator for the event, brought their expertise and passion for science to the forefront. Through engaging demonstrations and insightful explanations, the facilitators inspired young minds to pursue further exploration of scientific principles. The event fostered a collaborative atmosphere where participants worked together to conduct experiments and solve scientific puzzles. Through teamwork and cooperation, attendees not only strengthened their scientific knowledge but also developed valuable interpersonal skills. The event took place in a tranquil garden setting, providing a soothing and rejuvenating atmosphere. Surrounded by lush greenery and the gentle sounds of nature, attendees were encouraged to relax and immerse themselves in the healing ambiance of the garden.
