Branching Out
- A mental health program for teens

Branching Out is designed for teens who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or disconnected and are looking for a supportive space to grow. If you struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or life’s challenges, this nature-based program offers a healing alternative to traditional therapy.

Why join our gardening group?

In our gardening groups, led by a skilled occupational therapist with an expertise in horticultural therapy, we prioritize creating an inclusive environment for social interaction. Through hands-on activities like gardening, mindfulness, nature journaling and outdoor skill-building, you’ll gain coping tools, build confidence, and connect with others who understand. No previous gardening experience is required—just an open mind and a willingness to explore.

Nature's Healing Touch

Step into our garden oasis and let nature's soothing embrace calm your mind and uplift your spirit. Gardening offers a therapeutic escape from the stresses of daily life, providing a sanctuary of peace and tranquility.

Mindful Connection

Engage in mindful gardening practices that promote relaxation and focus. As you dig in the soil, plant seeds, and tend to growing plants, you'll cultivate a deeper connection with the present moment and alleviate symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Community Support

Join a compassionate community of individuals who understand the challenges of poor mental health and are here to offer empathy, encouragement, and solidarity. Share your journey, lend a listening ear, and find strength in the collective support of our group.

Self-Expression and Creativity

Gardening is a creative outlet that allows you to express yourself freely and cultivate beauty in the world. Whether you're designing a flower bed, arranging a bouquet, or painting a landscape with plants, there's endless opportunity for self-expression and joy.

Empowerment and Growth

Through gardening, you'll rediscover your inner strength and resilience as you nurture new life and witness the beauty of your efforts blooming. Each seed planted and each flower tended is a testament to your power to grow and thrive, even in challenging times.
