Helping communities meet social emotional, academic, cognitive, physical and overall wellness goals through Garden Education, Garden Design & Maintenance, Therapeutic Horticulture and Art.
GARDEN EDUCATION
Engaging youth in gardening has been linked to enhanced wellness, better academic results, increased self-esteem, a heightened interest in learning, a preference for nutritious foods, stronger social ties, more physical activity, and improved communication and teamwork abilities.
Smiling Roots offers classes that boost young people's engagement and understanding of nature through hands-on art, environmental science, nutrition, agriculture, and social-emotional learning activities.
GARDEN DESIGN & MAINTENANCE
Garden spaces provide endless opportunities for healing, exercise, learning, relaxation, and connecting with nature in residential, commercial, educational, and healthcare environments.
