What we stand for…
Vision
Our vision at In the Gardens is:
✿ Each individual has the know-how, resources and compassionate guidance needed to cultivate and grow fresh, organic food for themselves, their loved ones and their community, regardless of economics.
✿ We use our embodied wisdom and knowledge of mindfulness practice to treat ourselves, the Earth and one another with kindness, thereby living in compassionate earth-centered communities.
✿ Our caring and our acts re-green the Earth, restoring habitat and ecosystems.
Mission
At In the Gardens we work with you, your family and your community to engage in a healthy paradigm of growing food, ourselves, our relationships, and our planet. Our mission is threefold:
✿ We bring organic food production to you.
We design gardens for those in need and to all communities: home, school, neighborhood, congregation and business. As we grow food, we green the earth, supplementing our well being multidimensionally.
✿ We care for the soul as well as the body.
We teach mindfulness practice and meditation one-on-one sessions, in families and in groups in practices that can provide greater centering, decreased stress, increased happiness, more fulfilling relationships, and greater empathy and compassion.
✿ We offer the Mindful Gardens Project.
We bring the above aspects of our mission together in the Mindful Gardens Project, melding mindfulness education and practice into the foundation of garden design and implementation.
