Welcome to Milford Gardens!

Milford Gardens is a nature-oriented
program designed to teach youth about ownership, stewardship and
teamwork while helping them deal effectively with stress and

attachment issues.


Located on a one acre plot of land just west of Milford, youth will plant, grow and harvest the garden as well as manage the selling, consuming and giving of all garden produce. Families of the youth in our program and members of the community will also share in the garden harvest.

Built around Garden Based Learning, this field therapy program provides relevant work-integrated and community service activities for youth.

We believe that supporting personal growth and fostering each person's God-given abilities can have a huge, long-term impact on the lives of children, their families, and the communities in which they live.

Our ultimate goal is for Milford Gardens to be self-sustaining and earn a profit from the sale of the extra produce. Income from sold goods will go toward the operational cost of the garden as well as a scholarship fund for post-secondary education.

We invite you to join us on the adventures we will have this summer!

Needs and Praises

The newest items to be added to the needs list are grass clippings and soaker hose. If you can help us out
with these, that would be great.

Please contact me by either phone or email at milfordgardens@windstream.net.
If you see me about town, you can talk to me then as well.  :-)

A big relief off my shoulders is the finalization of the supply of tin cans. I contacted Crestview Care Center and Sunrise Country Manor today about picking up the ones they discard and they are happy to give them to us. Along with the cans still being given to us by Pizza Kitchen, this should fully cover our need!

The Porta-potty  has arrived!

Mr. S also told me that a gentleman wants to not only supply sprinklers for the corn, but also set them up!  Thank You!!!

I'm going to be contacting the local papers to get the word out about what we are doing this summer.

This project is coming together bit by bit, Praise God!
