Virtual and Outreach Events
Not able to attend Edith’s Memory Garden events in person at The Dallas Arboretum? We can bring the program to you in one of two convenient ways:
Video Series:
Professionally narrated videos discuss each topic with informative education and fun facts as well as pauses for interactive group memory discussions. Plus, there is a fun exercise demonstration, all set to music.
Eight videos are available and topics include Colors of Nature, Trees, Birds, Seeds, Succulents, Insects, Leaves and Tomatoes. All video content was created with input and review from leading educators and medical professionals as well as testing on those with memory loss.
In addition, you get a list of optional hands-on activities relatable by topic that you can do to enhance the experience.
VIDEO COST: $10 per video/topic, which is generously underwritten by the Darrell K. Royal Research Foundation and AWARE Foundation. For more information or to schedule, contact alzinfo@dallasarboretum.org.
