The horticulture program brings participants from the community to garden at Eagle Mount. A greenhouse and grow lights allow participants to plant from seed in the winter. The spring planting is always a time of excitement as vegetables and flowers are placed in the gardens. Raised beds allow participants in wheelchairs access and the ability to work the soil. Working in the garden lets the group get out and enjoy the countryside as they work with hand tools improving their manual dexterity. As the harvest season comes, the participants enjoy eating the produce they have grown, therapeutic in its own right.

Founded in 1982, Eagle Mount’s mission is to provide therapeutic recreation for people with disabilities of all ages and children with cancer. For people living with a disability or cancer, recreation means a lot more than “play time.” Recreational activities offer healing, life-affirming, joyful and satisfying experiences. When people are with Eagle Mount, the focus is always on their abilities. At Eagle Mount, every challenge inspires a new adventure.
