Eldergrow

Eldergrow™ is a North American-based company that brings nature indoors to elders in senior living communities across the US through therapeutic gardening programs. The Therapeutic Horticulture Program is a hands-on wellness program facilitated by in-person Educators who teach therapeutic gardening classes and provide garden maintenance for memory and skilled care settings. This program is centered around indoor, mobile gardens which are handcrafted in Washington by veterans and adults living with disabilities. The Therapeutic Horticulture Program is also available in a DIY version for a wider audience. Eldergrow just launched their new Nature Portal and now brings nature indoors and makes it accessible to even more populations. Eldergrow grew out of founder Orla Concannon's experience working in senior living and her relationship with her grandmother who lived her later years in a nursing home. Orla saw the need to connect residents to the healing powers of nature and therefore found a way to bring nature indoors with interactive programs. The mobile, indoor gardens bring residents renewed purpose and unparalleled sensory stimulation.
