ST. CHARLES–Healing Gardens, a two-acre expanse of woodland and perennial gardens on Stone Hill Farm off Dean Street in Saint Charles, today announced its last scheduled Sunday opening date for the 2024 season would be Sunday, October 13 from 11 am - 4 pm. The gardens are open to the public on set dates for the purpose of enjoying the natural wooded setting and perennial gardens. The admission cost is $5 per person and $10 per family, call for discounted group rates. In solidarity and to honor the journey, cancer survivors are always free. Donations of time or money for upkeep are welcome. Healing Gardens is cultivated and hosted by Deborah Marqui owner of Stone Hill Farm with her husband Buzz Marqui.
Ms. Marqui finds great restoration of spirit in her gardens and property and wants to share that with the public for their own rejuvenation. “Come and immerse yourself in the transformation of Nature into the rich colors of fall. There is still time to pick a bouquet of flowers with numerous colors of mums, summer blooms and fall foliage,” said Ms. Marqui. For a small donation visitors can pick their own bouquet of flowers to take home, jars and scissors provided.
Something New for the October Opening of Healing Gardens
For your enjoyment, from 11:30am to 12:30pm the Threshold Choir will join us in the gardens! This choir of 5 women will walk quietly through the Healing Gardens singing a-cappella, brief gentle songs of comfort and healing. Many songs contain poetic words, chants, and references to nature. Guests to the gardens can also request a 'song bath' which is being surrounded by a circle of women singing, as prayer, words of comfort and healing in gentle harmony.
The October 13 opening will offer an optional outdoor, gentle Yoga In The Garden class (weather permitting) from 1pm–2pm taught by Felicia Schmid 500E-RYT. Ease stress and tension, relax muscles, increase circulation, or just pamper yourself with a day in beautiful gardens! She is qualified to work with students of all levels. Please bring a mat, bottled water and any other props that bring you comfort. Wear layers and dress for the weather. Your class fee ($20) also offers you admission to enjoy the grounds both before and after class.
