TORONTO, Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Aphria Inc.
("Aphria" or the "Company") (TSX:
APHA and NYSE: APHA), a leading global cannabis company,
is combating winter blues and energizing the public with the launch
of a Plant Positivity Winter Garden on Monday, January 20, known to some as Blue Monday
— the most depressing day of the year based on factors such as
weather conditions, debt levels and low motivation levels. With a
vision to improve quality of life for communities and individuals,
Aphria's social impact platform, Plant Positivity, provides
people with greater access to green spaces and creates
opportunities to learn about plants and plant care.
Aphria's Plant Positivity Winter Garden is a pop-up
greenhouse experience featuring a 30-foot tunnel adorned with lush,
live, green winter plants. The activation is designed to have
visitors immerse themselves in the natural goodness of plants,
increasing overall exposure to their power to heal, develop,
thrive, connect, renew and rejuvenate.
"With shorter days, colder weather, holiday bills rolling in and
back to work routines, our general well-being may be affected. And
while most people recognize the positive role plants can play in
supporting their active pursuit of wellness and improved quality of
life, many don't know how to incorporate them into their daily
lives, especially in the winter," says Tamara Macgregor, Aphria Inc.'s Chief Corporate
Affairs Officer. "Through our social impact platform Plant
Positivity, Aphria is bridging the gap by providing education,
increasing access to plants and driving meaningful impact in the
communities we serve.
During the week of January 20th,
people are invited to come and experience the Plant Positivity
Winter Garden and explore the benefits of plants. From healing
properties to cleaning the air to improved productivity, visitors
will discover the incredible power plants have in helping us live
better, not only during sunny months but throughout Canada's shortened days of winter. The
Winter Garden will create public dialogue around the
different ways in which plants can impact our well-being –
physically, emotionally and socially.
The pop-up will be open in Union Station's West Wing from
Monday, January 20 to Friday, January 24.
About Plant Positivity
Aphria Inc. believes in the incredible power that plants
have to transform our daily lives. Through the Plant
Positivity platform, Aphria Inc. is bringing the
benefits of plants to individuals and communities.
The Plant Positivity platform is a firm believer in
bringing transformational green spaces to individuals and
communities. Last year, Plant Positivity created six new
garden spaces at Evergreen Brick Works. Each of the gardens focuses
on a different element of plants' power to heal, renew, connect,
thrive, restore and develop individuals and society at large. The
themed gardens added more than 50 varieties of native plant species
to the existing 8,000-square-metres of gardens across the site. The
Plant Positivity Gardens won second runner up at
Toronto's Green Choice Awards 2019
for the Garden Escape category.
Plant Positivity will bring the benefits of plants
to individuals and communities through three interconnected pillars
- Plant Education, Plant Access, and Plant Impact. Together, these
pillars create a holistic approach to providing individuals with
the tools and resources they need to integrate plants into their
everyday life and improve their overall well-being.
