where KIDS can learn all things gardening

Gardening helped with the traumas I experienced from serving overseas, and I am happy to see it works with traumatized youth. Overall, I think it’s a combination of getting them off those dang phones and computer screens, getting them outdoors and just seeing something grow from seed to something they can eat. Growing food changes lives.

educational benefits

Gardening with Outer Haven offers children a unique, hands-on learning experience that enhances their understanding of biology, ecology, and environmental stewardship. Through gardening, young learners develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, while nurturing a sense of responsibility and care for living things.

community engagement

Participating in Outer Haven's gardening activities fosters a strong sense of community and teamwork among children. It provides an opportunity for them to connect with nature, engage with peers in a collaborative environment, and contribute to a sustainable future, building lasting relationships and a shared sense of accomplishment.
