Horticulture

Participating in Horticulture encourages creativity, nurtures independence, develops social skills, boosts confidence, and gives folks an outlet for communicating thoughts and emotions in a supportive setting. At Eagle Mount, participants get their hands dirty and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of planting, weeding, watering, and caring for plants in our greenhouses and outdoor gardens. Different activities are offered during each 6-week session throughout the year. Check below to see what activities we’re offering now!
