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!

Another Bump In the Road

Lawrence will be out of commission for basically the rest of the summer. He had surgery today to repair
a completely ruptured Achilles tendon. For the next month or so, you won't be seeing him out and about. He has a large cast on at the moment. In a couple of weeks he'll move to a "boot" which will give him much more mobility.

This disrupts the work schedule for the garden a little bit. We still have kids coming out Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, but we won't have kids Wednesday mornings, until Lawrence can go back to work.

Praise God that the surgery went well! We want to personally thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during this time.
