To enhance the health and well-being of individuals through participation in community-based therapeutic gardening programs.
Who We Are
Garden Partners, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, has been serving the Portland metropolitan area since 1999 designing and delivering therapeutic horticulture programs to elder-care facilities and one program for at-risk children. Now in our second decade we are taking time to pause, reflect, and assess strategic options, including potential partnerships to increase our reach and effectiveness
WHY IS THERAPEUTIC GARDENING SO VALUABLE ?
The medium of Gardening, (and particularly social or therapeutic gardening), is immediately regenerative, and provides an opportunity for natural collaboration. It is a nearly effortless way to interface and interact with mainstream society, with everyone benefitting. The results are tangible and visible, and the process enjoyable while simultaneously relieving tension or despair.
