King's Garden
Where Hope Grows
King’s Garden is the Horticultural Therapeutic Garden Program of King’s Home.
Our program goals are multifaceted:
-
Provide hands-on opportunities in gardening along with teaching horticulture lessons to at-risk youth living in King’s Home residential group home program (plus school groups or community tours).
-
Demonstrate the importance of producing and consuming fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs.
-
Teach horticulture skills for knowledge and application: how to plant from seed, harvest crops, and prepare healthy meals with produce grown at King's Garden.
-
Instruct on life lessons learned from gardening including work ethic, sowing and reaping, etc.
-
Train through entrepreneurial experiences (selling at farmers’ markets, etc.).
