Being involved in garden activities motivates and connects individuals. Gardening, working with plants, and being in nature has been shown to lower anxiety levels, increase attentiveness and memory, reduce stress and improve mood, spark creativity, and improve physical health and strength. There are many skills that can be honed in the supportive accessible spaces we partner with. Our programs also emphasize positive social interaction, engagement, and inclusion, promoting a sense of community.
Enjoy the many benefits of connecting to plants and nature, adapted to each person where they are.
