The beautiful thing about 'gardening' is that anybody, anywhere, can start at anytime... because let's face it, WE ALL HAVE WEEDS! Increasing our ability and awareness to 'grow through' life's challenges with a positive disposition is at the very root of the You Are a Gardener® mindset. As much as our platform and programs are geared toward children, our message is truly ageless.
Nurturing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) skills is essential for our future successes-personally, academically and professionally. Being able to identify, communicate and manage our emotions through a positive and empowering process is what defines us all as 'gardeners'. We literally 'grow though' what we go through.
