Coolaney Wellness Garden

Hi my name is Aolish Gormley and this year I am running the Vhi Women’s Mini Marathon on the 4th of June to raise money for a community project in Coolaney. Coolaney local June Boyle with the help of the community in Coolaney would like to develop a wellness garden at the river walk in Coolaney. During her cancer treatment, June a young mother of three girls often met others with their own struggles on the walk way and had the idea of creating a specific space for people to take solace and enjoy the peace and tranquility of the river walk comfortably.

The concept of a wellness garden is to acknowledge and harness the therapeutic effects of nature and the wellness garden will be designed specifically to influence the visitors wellbeing in a positive way.

Funds raised for the wellness garden will be used to purchase and install large seats that have back and arm supports which make it possible for someone who is elderly or unwell to sit comfortably and get up again easily. Funds will also go towards the cost of flowers, trees, inspirational signs, a shelter and various other elements that will help us create a wellness garden that is a beautiful defined space to rest and relax. If you can donate anything at all no matter how small we would really appreciate your support to help bring the Coolaney wellness garden to life. Thank you!
