The Garden Within the City
Our mission
Our mission is to make wellness accessible to everyone- from long-term supporters of our business or anybody who’s hopped off the train. In this event we want to provide a range or resources anybody can use at any time. Everybody has highs and lows, and we want to make sure that everybody has something to turn to during tough times.
The Garden Within the City
This half day wellness experience hosted by Bcollective in the heart of Roscoe Village in collaboration with Lakeview Special Service Area 27 . Designed to support mental wellbeing through floral therapy, creative expression, and professional care, this event invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect.
Start your day with a gentle community slow flow, then explore interactive healing stations at your own pace — from youth sensory spaces to flower-pressing, journaling, and therapist-guided support.
Whether you’re navigating stress, seeking calm, or simply craving connection, this event is for you and your family.
What You’ll Experience
Community Slow Flow at two different times ( AM and PM)
A grounding, all-levels movement session to start the day in unity and breath.
Hands-On Wellness Stations (Move at your own pace)
Earth & Elements Station (for youth): A sensory experience with sand, soil, rocks, and water to support emotional regulation and presence.
Collage & Journaling Station: Reflect using guided prompts, pressed flowers, and visual collage in your own notebook.
Floral Presence Station: Engage with the scent, texture, and beauty of flowers while learning about their therapeutic benefits.
Breathing Spaces: Staffed by professional therapists, these calm touchpoints offer support, conversations, and deeper guidance throughout the day.
Location: SSA 27 Low Line Paulina Station - Roscoe Village
The location is just steps from the Paulina Brown Line — easily accessible and surrounded by the creative, tree-lined charm of Roscoe Village where the SSA 27 Lakeview Chamber has built an outdoor communal space. The outdoor environment mirrors our mission: to help people reconnect with nature and community in a supportive, beautiful Roscoe Village setting.
