National Garden Bureau launched a philanthropic program in 2014 that supports the building and growth of therapeutic gardens across North America. This program furthers NGB’s mission of promoting gardening to gardeners and non-gardeners alike.
“NGB is proud to continue our annual therapeutic garden grant program to sponsor the growth of therapeutic gardening across North America. Gardening is a great tool of healing for so many and we understand the importance of the grant program to allow for these programs to flourish and grow in our communities,” says NGB Past President Nick Pucci.
