Spiral Garden

Spiral Garden is an integrated outdoor art, garden and play program that has been integral to Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital since 1984.

This innovative program, staffed by artists, brings together children ages 6 to 18 with and without disabilities from the community and Holland Bloorview to:

  • Explore self and collective expression through a variety of art media
  • Nurture our relationship to nature through tending our organic garden
  • Foster an inclusive community that gives attention to the whole person.

For information on our other respite services please see: About respite services at Holland Bloorview.
