Take a moment to enjoy this peaceful little oasis, created by the phenomenal Participants and Staff at our North Shore Center! They built this raised garden bed from the ground-up to enjoy on this sunny summer day. It is simple moments like this - created by our participants and supported by our incredible staff - that make LIFE Pittsburgh truly phenomenal. As Allison, our CTRS, so beautifully put it: Why does gardening and nature feel so good? - Healthy soil contains mycobacterium that stimulates serotonin production — a natural mood booster. - Nurturing something through its life cycle can give us a deep sense of purpose. - Bright bursts of color can renew our hope. - Nature calms the nervous system, lowering blood pressure and easing anxiety. This gardening is more than a summer project - it is a symbol of LIFE Pittsburgh's mission in action: empowering older adults to thrive in their daily lives.
