Bowtie Gardens is a 5-month STEM-based, urban farming program that aspires to create a fun, educational, supportive community for kids and their families so that they can better manage the disruptions they face that result from chronic pain. As they participate in the program, they are able to understand how nutritious foods address chronic pain and apply the lessons and knowledge obtained through gardening to improve their lives and the lives of others within the community.
By providing participants with experiential learning where they connect their physical health, mental wellness, self-care, and growth, to the health and maturity of the plants they are growing, Bowtie Gardens is a mirroring tool for self-empowerment, self-improvement, self-reflection, and self-expression.
We inspire Courage & Confidence in youth living with chronic pain
