A therapeutic connection to nature!

Our Therapeutic Horticulture Program is a full-service program that combines our Sensory Garden with onsite Educators who teach evidence-based, therapeutic horticulture classes that improve life for our growing community of older adults living in residential and nursing care.

“We find that Eldergrow enriches the environment and provides a soothing, positive activity for residents, engaging them at many functional levels, whether individually or as part of a group.”

We Bring Nature Indoors!

Eldergrow™ offers residents a therapeutic connection to nature through innovative gardening products & services. Our programs bring nature inside 12 months a year, improving life for our growing community of older adults living in residential and nursing care.

Residents engage in meaningful ways with the Eldergrow garden: physically, socially, cognitively, creatively, and spiritually.

Gardening With Purpose!
