Spectrum Gardens Inc. is a Therapeutic Horticulture program and garden committed to supporting people with disabilities and other marginalized groups. We are working to offer an inclusive space for healing, connection, purpose, and vocational growth.

Through plant- and nature-based activities, Therapeutic Horticulture addresses a wide range of participant goals—psychological, physical, cognitive, social, spiritual, and vocational. Whether through active participation or simply being in a healing garden environment, individuals work toward personal growth while gaining hands-on gardening skills.

Spectrum Gardens Inc. not only cultivates the person-plant connection but also lays a foundation for entry-level employment in horticulture and related fields. At the same time, our work contributes to reducing food insecurity—both for our participants and the broader community.

Over the last 2+ years I have been working to make this dream a reality, and I have combined all my past experience to bring this service to our community. Spectrum Gardens Inc. is currently rooted at 12 Baskets Café and a local high school—two places where growth, learning, and community already thrive. Your support helps us deepen our impact, enrich our programs, and expand our reach to bring healing, inclusion, and opportunity.
