Prioritizing Mental Health in Landscape Horticulture
Working in landscape horticulture can be deeply rewarding, but it isn’t without its challenges. Long days, unpredictable weather, heavy workloads, and the constant pressure of running a business or meeting customer demands can take a heavy toll. With the rising costs of living and ongoing uncertainty in government policies, it’s easy to see why many in our industry are feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed.
You are not alone. Mental health struggles are far more common than many realize. In fact, one in five Canadians experiences a mental illness in any given year. Yet, many of us remain silent due to stigma, fear of being judged, or concern about how others might react. Unfortunately, that silence can be dangerous. Every year, about 4,000 Canadians die by suicide, nearly 11 people every single day. These numbers remind us of the importance of looking out for ourselves and for one another.
