Horticulture Programs Help Good Things Grow
What’s green and helps young people flourish? Plants!
“In the greenhouse, we’re always working on social skills,” says Megan Sperry, horticulture instructor. “Working with plants teaches youths how to get along with others, ask for help when needed and do something even if you don’t want to. We work on both hard skills and soft skills, and you need both to be successful in the world.”
Cultivating plants is so much more than digging in the dirt. Three of our programs help participants get their hands dirty—and gain knowledge and confidence in the process. And all of these programs are possible thanks in part to our annual plant sale.
