A garden is
a great place
to outgrow
limitations.

Trellis uses the power of gardening and nature to enrich the lives of people living with disabilities by providing purpose, fostering independence, and creating community.

GARDEN THERAPY

Reduce Isolation,
Regrow Social Connections,
Provide Purpose.

Disability, illness and other barriers to full health and well-being can result in lives that are disconnected from nature with limited opportunities for social recreation with a purpose.

Garden Therapy in a supportive and safe environment can be a source of motivation that promotes inclusion, rebuilds community connections, and empowers through hands-on learning.
